This seminar will provide an update on current trends we are seeing in our practice as it relates to EEOC charges, employment litigation and compliance issues.

We will discuss proactive and practical steps that should be taken to prepare for the ongoing and much anticipated increase in state employment claims, training and handbook updates, terminating employment, and how the new Virginia laws are impacting employers.
