  SPEAKER David Barron, Attorney, Cozen O'Connor PRESENTATION SUMMARY In the aftermath of the pandemic, the workplace has changed, bringing new (and old) challenges for employers to correctly capture and pay employees in compliance with the law. This fast-paced seminar will provide an overview of the top ten areas of potential wage and hour risk for employers, including issues affecting both exempt and non-exempt employees. Attendees in this session will: Identify policies related to the pandemic that create potential wage and hour liability, including working from home, COVID-19 testing, and health screening practices Understand the duties tests for exempt employees and identify common mistakes made by employers in designating exempt employees Identify trends for “off-the-clock” work litigation and learn how to develop practical policies to minimize the risk of such suits SPEAKER BIO David partners with clients to offer practical solutions to labor and employment problems of all sizes and shapes before they end up in litigation. That might mean helping a human resources professional with a complicated disciplinary action or helping a Fortune 500 CEO respond to a union campaign. David understands his clients' businesses and works tirelessly and creatively to make a client's goal his goal. With a focus on partnership in decision making and an emphasis on supervisor training, many of David's clients have seen dramatic drops in employment litigation. Of course, not every dispute can be avoided. Employment disputes can often be high stakes, bitter, and expensive. Unlike many employment lawyers, David is no stranger to a courtroom. Whether it is a non-compete or trade secret case, FLSA collective action, or an unfair labor practice charge at the NLRB, David has experience litigating high profile matters. In fact, because of his substantial trial experience, David is often called upon by clients to assist in complicated litigation outside of the employment realm, and David has successfully won cases across the state of Texas in both state and federal courts. Because of David's common sense approach to labor and employment issues, he is often quoted in newspapers and magazines. He has also appeared as an employment law professional on talk radio and local CBS and Fox affiliates. David is Board Certified in Labor and Employment Law by the state of Texas and has been named a Texas Super Lawyer Rising Star in Texas Monthly magazine. When not helping clients, David can be found leading his son's Boy Scout troop, running a marathon, or hiking on a mountain. SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES Interested in sponsorship opportunities?

  SPEAKER Jeff Baker, Co-Founder & Technology Principal, PMP, ACP PRESENTATION SUMMARY While some companies have already established a mature online position, others may be earlier in their journey. The appeal of connecting with a global audience quickly, cost effectively, and with very little geographic restriction may be quite attractive. Added to that is the opportunity to tell a company’s story, describe an organization’s successes, demonstrate expertise, market one’s products, and even highlight employees as part of recruitment and/or retention programs. These and many other drivers make compelling reasons why many organizations consider an online presence a vital component to an organization’s success and growth. We will highlight technology areas where organizations are likely to be the most vulnerable, play out scenarios where a threat actor could harvest intelligence to launch an attack, and raise though provoking questions for your organization to consider as it moves towards a greater online presence. Learning objectives: How are organizations leveraging social media and building an online presence How to protect company and employee data What are the IT systems and software that continue to expand into today’s businesses What is social media's role? What are laws that may come into play? SPEAKER BIO Jeff Baker, Co-Founder & Technology Principal, PMP, ACP. Jeff advises clients in the areas of strategic planning and execution, cybersecurity, M&A, program and project management, continuous process improvement, and application development. In addition to developing technology solutions for clients, Jeff provides interim/fractional ClO services to clients across multiple industries including oil and gas, construction and retail.
