2026 Labor & Employment Seminar Series
Join us for the 37th annual Labor & Employment Seminar Series.
Today's workplace continues to evolve at a rapid pace, bringing new legal challenges and compliance considerations for employers. This year's Labor & Employment Seminar Series will discuss the most significant developments affecting employers. Topics to be covered on select Tuesdays in October and November include a comprehensive year in review highlighting the most significant employment issues from the past year along with specific discussions on various other topics including updates related to wage and hour requirements, employee leave issues, workplace safety, labor relations, employee benefits, immigration, specific California law considerations and much more.
Through practical guidance and real-world examples, attendees will gain actionable insights they can apply immediately to strengthen compliance efforts, reduce risk, respond to regulatory challenges, and make informed workplace decisions for the year ahead.
This seminar is perfect for human resources and benefits professionals and in-house counsel looking to stay up to date and ahead of the curve.
Each webinar presentation is eligible for CLE, HRCI, and SHRM accreditation. We will apply for credit in WI, CO, IL, TX, UT, VA, NC, NE, and CA if applicable.
