2020 Vision: Finding Clarity on Labor and Employment Risks in the New Year
Topic:
U.S. agri-business entities must adjust to a rapidly changing labor and employment scenario. The U.S. Department of Labor recently issued guidance that significantly restricted the spectrum of activities that qualify as “agricultural labor” for purposes of H-2A labor certification and FLSA wage and hour compliance. Historically low unemployment rates and an ever-changing regulatory scheme dictates diligent action among agricultural employers. Join us for this intermediate-level seminar to get clarity in this highly active space.
