8:00 - 8:30 a.m. Registration and Continental Breakfast
8:30 - 10:00 a.m. Wage and Hour Fundamentals: What Every New York Employer Needs to Know Joanmarie M. Dowling, Esq., SPHR
With so many wage and hour rules, it's no wonder employers are confused! In this presentation, you will learn to classify employees, calculate overtime properly, maintain required wage and hour records, avoid independent contractor misclassification, and comply with New York State-specific rules, such as meal periods, wage deductions, and frequency of pay requirements.

10:15 - 11:30 a.m. U.S. Department of Homeland Security and You: What You Need to Know to Employ Foreign Workers Thomas G. Eron, Esq.
In recent years, we've seen a heightened number of employer audits, heightened security, delays in visa issuance, and filing fee increases in both temporary, as well as permanent, residency immigration cases. With this in mind, we will address the complexities that U.S. employers face in the hiring of temporary and permanent foreign professionals, including the timing of hiring, costs associated with sponsorship, and delays, and their impact on the retention of foreign born employees.
