Events & Speaking Engagements

The Affordable Care Act brought with it a litany of changes to group health plans, some for the good and some for the bad. Small employers in general have experienced continual rate increases as well as a myriad of regulatory complexity. What many small employers aren’t aware of is the ACA’s provisions allowing for Qualified Small Employer Health Reimbursement Arrangements that permit applicable small employer’s to reimburse employees for coverage they purchase individually. This webinar will dive into the rules associated with such arrangements.

Please join us on Thursday, October 4, 2018 from 11:15 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. for the Annual Employment Law Symposium at Happy Hollow Club.

Invitation with details on topics and speakers coming soon. Space is limited for this free event, so register early.

RSVP to Jessica Kinnersley at 402.343.3837 or events@koleyjessen.com.

The impact of the June 21, 2018 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in South Dakota v. Wayfair will be felt by nearly every retailer and consumer. Removing the limitation means that nearly all catalog, online, and remote sales will have sales taxes collected by the retailer to be remitted to the proper jurisdictions, at least in states that impose a sales tax. For consumers, this means that the taxes will be the same on purchases made in brick-and-mortar stores and those made online. For retailers, the impact is much larger.

Expert speakers will discuss how companies are determining how far to go in conducting due diligence, and developing a tiered approach based on the appropriate risk level and type of third party in question. The session will discuss how to re-evaluate your risk ranking approach and minimize the costs of a robust program. With evolving risk factors and compliance obligations, don’t miss this worthwhile opportunity to upgrade your best practices. Ample time will be left for Q & A, so please bring your questions!

This presentation will address the changing landscape faced by multi-state clients as a result of the growth in state medical marijuana laws. This presentation will also provide an analysis of the varying level of employee protections for the use of medicinal marijuana under the states’ differing statutory approaches and how clients may be required to adapt.

In the wake of the Epic decision, the questions of whether, how, when, and to what extent a mandatory arbitration program (with or without class and collective action waivers) should be implemented are complex and demand thoughtful deliberation prior to making any decisions. This webinar will include discussion of the various considerations involved in designing and implementing a mandatory arbitration program (including waivers of class and collective actions) in the workplace.
