10:00-11:00 a.m. ET
Virtual Webinar
Complimentary
Join Warner Norcross + Judd LLP attorneys DeAndre’ Harris, Joseph Rockwell and Abigail Coté for a webinar focused on the Feb. 21, 2025, amendments to the Michigan Earned Sick Time Act (ESTA) and Michigan’s Improved Workforce Opportunity Wage Act (IWOWA). On the same day that ESTA and IWOWA were set to take effect, amendments were passed that changed the laws in many respects. While these amendments provide employers much-needed relief from ESTA and IWOWA’s initial obligations, they still leave certain questions unanswered. DeAndre’ and Joe will provide an overview of these amendments, what they mean for employers and what employers should do to ensure compliance with their wage and hour and earned sick time obligations, as amended.

Complimentary
Join Warner Norcross + Judd LLP attorneys Linda Paullin-Hebden, Sarah Bileti, Josie Boucher, Sean Cook and Mary Bonnema for a virtual roundtable discussion designed to help business leaders better understand critical legal issues that can impact the growth and success of their startup or expanding business. Starting or expanding a business in the United States is an exciting venture, but it comes with its own set of complex legal challenges.

While the situations and solutions may be specific to this fictitious company, this program will provide critical insights to ensure your company’s compliance while protecting your assets and setting the foundation for long-term success.
