During this seminar, we will examine two evolving issues of which surety professionals and their construction and other clients, as employers, should be aware. Aaron Schlesinger, a partner in Peckar & Abramson’s Labor Relations and Employment Law Department, will discuss the constantly evolving employment law issues surrounding cannabis use for medical and recreational purposes. He will outline the interplay between federal and state laws regarding marijuana and explain how employers can both keep the workplace free of drug use and also avoid litigation over allegedly discriminatory behavior toward cannabis users. Michael Schewe, a member of Peckar & Abramson’s Labor & Employment Law Group, will discuss the substantial uptick in worksite investigations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the steps that employers can take to protect themselves from liability for Form I-9 processing and record keeping violations. Michael will include an overview of the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) audit process, so employers can know what to expect when the government comes calling.
These evolving topics presents an exciting opportunity for you to host this NASBP Virtual Seminar for your construction and other clients or to share the information on how they too can register to participate in this live or recorded Virtual Seminar.
