Over thirty HR Professionals from Business Council member companies joined me on August 26th in Cheektowaga for a 2 hour update on HR related issues coming out of the 2009 legislative session in Albany. Despite the confusion in the state Senate, we saw two major changes in the insurance law concerning insurance continuation after leaving employment and a new higher aging out of coverage for dependent children. We also have a new written wage and hour notification requirement involving pay and overtime rates. I also updated the group on federal card check and state pay equity proposals and a new state paid family leave proposal.

For our Northern New York Business Council members, I’m conducting this briefing in Gouverneur on Thursday, September 17th hosted by Kinney Drugs at their Corporate Offices. Please join me.

Here are the details.
