NEW ILLINOIS RULE: Employers Liable for Wage/Hour Violations of Another Employer?!

Description

With a recent regulation issued by the Illinois Department of Labor making a legal finding of joint employment far easier, employers (particularly staffing agencies and their user-companies, franchisors and franchisees, and construction contractors of various levels) need to understand why trying to avoid a joint employment relationship is critical in order to reduce being “on the hook” for the unlawful actions of a separate employer. In this timely 90-minute webinar, Labor & Employment Attorney Jeffrey Risch will be presenting the latest legal landscape, as well as what employers should expect moving forward on this very important subject. Particular attention will be devoted to helpful insights and tips on how employers that do business with one another can actually reduce potential problems and operate with a more clear understanding of what they should and should not do when establishing and maintaining their mutually beneficial business relationship. Key contractual terms will also be shared.
