Continuing to Pivot

Fiscal year 2021 has been a year of change and challenge in employment. While COVID has not retreated, we continue to navigate the new world of "how" we work. In this presentation, the speaker discusses how the EEOC and the employer community has pivoted during COVID-19 over the last 12 months.

What's Precedent Got to Do With It? The
Earthshaking Employment Law Implications of Dobbs
Susanna S. Birdsong, Planned Parenthood South
Atlantic, Raleigh, NC
Katherine Dudley Helms, Ogletree Deakins Nash
Smoak & Stewart PC, Columbia, SC

& Robinson PA, Columbia, SC (Moderator)
The U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health overturned decades of precedent regarding the right to access to abortion. With that dramatic upset in the law and the resulting rapidly changing state law landscape comes significant impacts on employment law. Do federal employment laws protect employees who obtain abortion services in states where doing so is now illegal? Do employers incur civil or criminal liability for maintaining benefit programs to assist employees to travel to other jurisdictions to obtain abortion services? Employees and employers will face many such questions in this new era.

This presentation addresses these legal and ethical considerations, including issues regarding the tax treatment of settlement payments, the use of non-disclosure and non-disparagement provisions (and applicable state law affecting these issues), the scope of waivers and releases, and other critical issues.
M. Todd Sullivan, Fitzgerald Hanna &
Sullivan PLLC, Raleigh, NC
This presentation addresses developments in the law pertaining to employee departures, including analysis of important or interesting state and federal opinions regarding restrictive covenant agreements, trade secret and computer trespass law, and related issues including the potential liability for new employers of departing employees. We address tips and guidance for HR professionals involved in these matters and discuss national legislative movements regarding noncompete agreements and the evolving concepts of fair competition. While the accompanying manuscript catalogues recent state and federal case law developments, the presentation is designed to assist attending attorneys and HR professionals with spotting issues and pragmatically identifying and addressing legal risks from both the former employer's and the departing employee's/new employer's perspectives.
