Description:
This webinar will guide attorneys on two landmark federal civil rights legislation for nursing mothers and pregnant employees in the workplace: the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) and the Providing Urgent Maternal Protections for Nursing Mothers Act (PUMP Act).
Presenter Scott Hetrick will highlight issues relating to these federal mandates, provide an update on the interplay of these statutes with selected comparable state laws, and offer practical advice for PWFA and PUMP Act compliance in the modern workplace.
The presentation will cover these and other key issues:
• What steps should employer’s counsel take to ensure business compliance with the PWFA and PUMP Act?
• What issues have not been resolved or remain ambiguous as counsel offers advice to clients for purposes of the PWFA and PUMP Act?
• What is the best practices advice for employers when navigating these laws to steer clear of costly pregnancy-related lawsuits?
Scott Hetrick is a management rights advocate who represents employers with federal and state labor and employment law compliance and dispute resolution. Scott also represents insurers with analysis of their defense and coverage obligations under a wide variety of insurance policies, including commercial liability, errors and omissions, property and casualty and liquor liability, in a wide range of third-party claims against their insureds.
Scott counsels’ employers with an eye to preventing claims arising from day-to-day employment decisions, particularly terminations of employees and large-scale layoffs. An important component of his practice involves drafting and revision of employee handbooks, personnel policies and procedures, employment applications, background check disclosure and consent agreements and employment contracts, including non-compete agreements, trade secret agreements and arbitration agreements.
Scott drafts comprehensive leave-of-absence policies designed to coordinate employer obligations under federal disability/medical leave laws and state workers’ compensation laws while, at the same time, advising on how to navigate conflicting obligations under those laws to avoid litigation. He helps employers to run their companies in compliance with labor and employment laws by providing training to managers, supervisors and employees on discrimination and harassment prevention. He also advises on investigations, documentation of discipline and discharge and payroll compliance, as well as other procedures and practices associated with employment decisions.
