Panelists will discuss the current law on joint employer liability and review recent case law involving franchiser liability for discrimination, harassment and wage and hour claims. Speakers will also provide best practices for mitigating risk. Mr. O’Connor’s panel will take place on Thursday, February 8, 2018 from 2:00 PM to 3:20 PM.
