Two Programs in July 2025 

Newly Added Program on Recent ICE Actions

The Employer Advisory Council (EAC) quarterly employer hotline program offers a valuable platform for employers to address pressing workplace concerns with expert guidance from seasoned employment law attorneys.  This program reviews real-world questions submitted to the management hotline each quarter, covering topics such as employee discipline, wage and hour compliance, leave policies, and emerging workplace challenges.  By analyzing these scenarios, Colleen and James provide actionable insights and legal interpretations that help employers navigate complex employment issues.  The program not only clarifies legal obligations but also equips businesses with practical tools to proactively manage risks and maintain compliance in an ever-evolving regulatory environment.
