Labor and Employment Law With the New Administration

With President Biden’s return to Washington, there have already been changes to federal policy and enforcement that impact all aspects of the employee/employer relationship. And, based on President Biden’s campaign platform, there may be more changes to come.

On April Fool’s Day (April 1, 2021), legal and tax professionals from Williams Parker and Kerkering, Barberio & Co. will host a complimentary, one-hour Zoom panel discussion addressing what has already changed and for what other possible changes employers may want to prepare.
