2:30 pm - 3:30 pm ESTWith pay transparency statutes now live in more than a dozen states—including recent additions like Massachusetts, New Jersey, Vermont, and Virginia—multistate employers face conflicting posting, disclosure, and reporting rules for a single job ad. This session maps the current patchwork, the enforcement and class action risk it has created, and how to structure compensation ranges, promotion disclosures, and pay equity audits that hold up under scrutiny.
J. Scott Humphrey 3:40 pm - 4:40 pm ESTThe FTC’s nationwide non-compete ban is gone, but the states have taken over—with outright bans, salary thresholds, healthcare-specific limits, notice requirements, and outlier statutes like Florida’s employer-friendly CHOICE Act creating a fifty-state maze. This session covers where non-competes stand in 2026, the new laws taking effect this year, and how to draft, enforce, and litigate restrictive covenants across conflicting regimes.
