Fair Labor Standards Act Crackdown: Understanding and Eliminating the Most Common Errors
In fiscal year 2008, the Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division recovered more than $185 million in back wages for over 228,000 underpaid employees. The vast majority of this recovery (88%) was due to incorrect overtime practices. Depending upon the size of the workforce, and the extent of the violations, these types of back-pay awards can be financially devastating.

Complying With New Mental Health Parity Rules
Now that the federal agencies charged with enforcing the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (“MHPAEA”) have finally issued regulations in this area, sponsors of employer group health plans will want to turn their attention to complying with the regulatory requirements. The MHPAEA not only broadened the scope of the 1996 Mental Health Parity Act – for instance, by prohibiting virtually any differential in coverage between mental health benefits and medical/surgical benefits – but also applied the new parity rules to substance use disorder benefits.

Employee Handbooks: How They Help And Hurt Employers
An employee handbook is generally considered an essential tool in communicating expectations and rules of conduct to employees. It is considered a key document in most employment litigation and its content can either help or hurt an employer. Do you know what policies you must include in your handbook, which are highly recommended, and which are optional? Do you know if the content of your handbook is sound? This Webinar will cover the pro’s and con’s of handbooks, the types of written policies that are “must haves” and “should haves,” and common errors in drafting handbooks.

GINA Reshuffles the Deck: Complying With the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act
As is so often the case, Congress took an unobjectionable goal – protecting individuals from discrimination on the basis of their genetic make-up – and turned it into a nightmare for employers. The 2008 Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) imposes a number of constraints on employers’ actions. This is true in both the pure employment context and as sponsors of group health plans. Moreover, GINA “reshuffled the deck” on a number of other federal laws – including the ADA, FMLA and HIPAA – thereby forcing employers to go back to school on those laws, as well. The primary focus of this webinar will be GINA’s impact on employer health plans. You will learn how GINA extends even to wellness programs including health risk assessments.
