2014 was an unprecedented year of employment legislation activity in the District of Columbia. The D.C. Council enacted four pieces of legislation that impose stringent requirements and prohibitions on employers:
- Protecting Pregnant Workers Fairness Act
- Wage Theft Prevention Amendment Act
- Fair Criminal Record Screening Amendment Act
- Earned Sick and Safe Leave Amendment Act
What does all this mean for D.C. employers? It means, among other things:
- Changes to your recruiting and hiring processes
- Changes to your payroll systems
- Changes to your record keeping systems
- Changes to your sick leave policy
- An affirmative duty to offer pregnant employees certain accommodations
- Threat of civil litigation and heavy fines by the District government
Don’t get caught out in the cold. Join us for an in-depth discussion of how to comply with these new laws before it is too late.
