Small Business Seminar: Avoiding Common Mistakes in New York Employment Law

Knowledge is power. As a small business, you don’t have time to thumb through employment law books to learn safe measures to avoid labor and employment litigation. Join Anthony Rao of Rao Ongaro Burtt & Tiliakos LLP to learn how to avoid everyday employment errors that often increase in times of economic downturn. Topics to be discussed include:

• Improperly using training time and unpaid interns and externs to save money
• Failure to provide, launder or maintain required uniforms to save money
• Off-the-clock work or use of compensatory time off to avoid overtime
• Misclassification of employees as independent contractors or as exempt from overtime
• Mischaracterization of a termination as a layoff to rid yourself of a problem employee

Rao Ongaro LLP is a diverse nationwide management-side employment litigation and counseling law firm. Specialties include all facets of labor and employment litigation and counseling, wage and hour class and collective actions, trade secrets and restrictive covenant litigation and counseling, and complex commercial and consumer class action litigation.
