Recently, the Ninth Circuit affirmed the certification of a class of Wal-Mart employees in the gender discrimination class action case Dukes v. Wal-Mart. The pace of new filings
in this area is accelerating. Every medium-to-large company is a litigation target and should learn now about the pitfalls and best-practices that can help them structure their promotions and pay policies.

11:10 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Healthcare Reform
Healthcare Reform: What Employers Need to Know

There's a lot of information about the new health care reform acts on the Internet and in the news - much of it vague, some of it incorrect, and most of it overwhelming. The acts are very complex, of course, which is reflected in the reports. While several of the changes will be effective in 2011, most of the changes in the law won't take effect until 2014. The provisions with delayed effective dates will be clarified in future regulations and some of the provisions may be changed or repealed before they become effective. This program will provide an overview of the recent healthcare reform legislation with a focus on how the legislation affects employers, particularly in the near term.
 
Sheldon J. Blumling, Partner, Fisher & Phillips LLP
