FLSA and Illinois Wage Law Update: What Upcoming Wage Law Changes Mean for Your Business and Your Employees
Presented by Jeremy Brenner
Earlier this year, the Department of Labor issued proposed changes to the legal requirements for an employee to qualify as exempt from the minimum wage and overtime requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Although only a proposal, the potential changes to the law are significant enough to warrant employers’ close attention and advanced preparation. Jeremy Brenner, co-leader of Armstrong Teasdale’s national wage and hour practice, will explain the potential impact of these proposed changes and what companies can, and should, do now to prepare. Brenner will also discuss how Illinois employers can prepare for increases to minimum wage, which is on track to reach $15 an hour by 2025.

BREAK   10:30-10:45 a.m.

Presented by Ida Shafaie
Two years after the launch of the #MeToo movement, Associate, Ida Shafaie, discusses the current state of sexual harassment in the workplace. While the movement impacted behaviors for some, according to industry data, it also incited a culture of avoidance and discrimination for others.
