About the program

The world has changed in labor and employment law. Here’s your chance to catch up.

Special 20% discount for attendees

Attendees of the 2009 Employment Law seminar will receive a 20% discount coupon for the new 2009 edition of A Guide to Wisconsin Employment Discrimination Law. Coupons will be distributed at the live and video seminars, and emailed to webcast attendees after the event.


What you’ll learn:

  • Culling bad practices from the workplace
  • New ADA and EEOC rules
  • Ways that “disability” has been expanded

Who should attend:

  • Attorneys practicing in business, civil rights, government, or labor/employment law

As you know, the new presidential administration and Democratic majority in both houses of Congress have had a tremendous impact on proposed employment-related legislation. The same climate of change holds true in Wisconsin. Make sure your clients stay in compliance during these changes by attending the State Bar of Wisconsin’s 2009 Employment Law Update.

$300K punitive damages
After Governor Doyle signed Senate Bill 20 on June 8th, Wisconsin employers who are convicted of engaging in discriminatory employment practices now face the same potential $300K in compensatory and punitive damages in state court that they used to fear in federal court. The 2009 Employment Law Update will bring you up to speed on this evolving situation.

Expansion of family leave
Get current on how the National Defense Authorization Act expanded benefits of the Family and Medical Leave Act by including new rules entitling family members to take unpaid leave to care for seriously injured or ill service members.

Changes in defining “disability”
Find out how new regulations from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) make it much easier for employees claiming protection under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to establish that they have a covered disability. The EEOC has broadened the scope of major life activities and bodily functions which qualify for disability protection.

Ways to avoid litigation
By attending this year’s Employment Law Update, you’ll hear strategic commentary on advising your business clients about ways to avoid getting into litigation by culling bad practices from the workplace, and other strategies.
