Human Resources: Standing at the Intersection of HR and Obama: What the Next Four Years could mean for employers.

As the new administration takes office and with democrats now firmly in control of both houses in Congress, 2009-2012 could be a time of major legislative and regulatory change and HR issues are definitely on the new administration’s radar. We’ll take a look at what may be in store for employers in terms of new laws, regulatory enforcement, and litigation.

The new president laid out an aggressive employment law agenda during his campaign. We’ll look at some of the key items including The Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and Paycheck Fairness Act; Possible elimination of statutory damage caps for Title VII and ADA claims; The Employment Non-Discrimination Act; and more.

Obama-- who spent a decade as a civil rights attorney litigating employment, housing and voter discrimination claims—is also likely to take a tough stance on enforcement issues. Our experts will share their predictions for an Obama-led EEOC, as well as what changes he is likely to make in the federal court system through judicial appointments.
