"Coping with the Changing Labor Laws"
Recent and proposed changes to the labor laws are challenging employers to balance profitability and being in compliance, all the while keeping employees incentivized. And even if these changes do not affect your business, they likely affect your clients or business partners. This month's Breakfast Club discussion will be led by Lori Goldstein from the Law Office of Lori A. Goldstein, LLC and Heather Lantry from Right At Home. Topics will include minimum wage requirements, overtime pay, and paid leave issues. Bring your labor-related questions with you and be willing to share solutions you found to keep you in compliance.
Lori Goldstein, an employment lawyer since 1984, represents business owners, employers and employees through her sole practice, the Law Office of Lori A. Goldstein LLC. After receiving her undergraduate and law degrees from University of Illinois, Lori worked for two mid-sized Chicago law firms before starting her own firm in 2011. Lori advises on workplace rights and issues including discrimination, harassment and retaliation, equal pay, wage-hour, employment and independent contractor agreements, and severance agreements. Lori also conducts employer compliance audits and training, presents regularly on employment topics, and handles administrative claims and defense of charges of employment law violations. Lori is passionate about helping organizations and individuals achieve peaceful solutions to workplace issues, find closure, and move forward.
