Developments in the Employer-Provided Health Care Space Speakers: Ann M. Caresani, Partner, Tucker Ellis LLP; Bobby Handley, Director, Regulatory Affairs, Compliance and Human Resources, Employee Benefit Management Corp Discussion Points: Eight years after the enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, we are still getting a lot of questions and seeing new issues. Most recently, the IRS has started issuing penalty notices to employers that go all the way back to 2015 – and this process may not pass Constitutional muster. President Trump asked the Department of Labor to usher in new “association health plans,” a type of multiple employer welfare arrangement, and now we have proposed regulations to allow these. We will discuss these developments, and others, in the employer-provided health care space. |

The Impact of President Trump on Wage and Hour Claims and Other Hot Employment Law Issues Speaker: Daniel L. Messeloff, Partner, Tucker Ellis LLP Discussion Points: This session will discuss the impact of the Trump administration on wage and hour lawsuits that continue to proliferate, as well as other timely employment law subjects: the #MeToo movement in the workplace, cybersecurity concerns, employees’ expanded use of social media, cyberbullying, and other issues that impact companies every day. |
