The SEI-SHRM chapter is excited to partner with Parsons Behle & Latimer for our 2024 Half-Day Employment Law Conference on October 17, 2024!

Legal updates have become more important than ever. Stay on top of latest trends and advice on how to handle the new evolving workplace! 

Presenting As a Team, our speakers are Kaleigh C. Boyer, Michael Judd, Garrett M. Kitamura, Sean A. Monson, and Elena Vetter 

from Parsons Behle & Latimer Law Firm

Session I 

“What’s Not to Like About Social Media in the Workplace?”

No matter where we turn, social media seems unavoidable.  The workplace is no exception.  Social media offers opportunities for employers but also presents pitfalls.  In this presentation, Sean and Elena will discuss the use of social media in: (1) screening for job applicants; (2) disruptive and harassing online behavior by employees; and (3) staying out of trouble with the FTC for online comments and reviews.

Session 2

I Have a Note From My Doctor” – Engaging with Employees’ Medical Providers on ADA Accommodation and Fitness for Duty Issues.

When seeking a disability accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), or fitness for duty issues, employees often present a note from their medical provider. These notes may contain vague or even onerous work restrictions, and employer may feel at a loss for how to proceed. Through this presentation, Garrett Kitamura and Kaleigh Boyer will discuss how employers can learn how to effectively interact with medical providers to get the necessary information as part of the ADA’s interactive process, or for fitness for duty matters.

Session 3 

2024 Employment Law Update

The last twelve months has been eventful in the world of employment law!  The Parsons team will highlight the most significant employment developments over that span.  Their presentation will include information about the Department of Labor’s new independent contractor test and its hike to the salary threshold for overtime exemptions, the Federal Trade Commission’s near total ban on non-competes and the latest court challenges to that rule, the EEOC’s final rule on the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, and recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions, including its recent decisions about religious accommodations and DEI initiatives.   

Location: Holiday Inn & Suites - 3005 South Fork Boulevard, Idaho Falls 83402
