    Topic: Legal Update. New Virginia Laws and Case Examples

    2020 has brought many new changes for employers – both legally and practically. Paul Klockenbrink and Cate Huff will provide an overview of new laws in Virginia and how they will impact employers both during and after the pandemic. This meeting will cover the Virginia Values Act, Virginia’s new whistleblower protection law, new wage laws and guidance, and more. Attendees will also hear about real case examples involving these new laws and their interplay with federal laws like the Families First Coronavirus Response Act and the Fair Labor Standards Act.
