A New Day in the Old Dominion: span>Virginia’s Sweeping New Employee-Protection Statutes
“E lections have consequences,” President Obama said in 2009. That couldn’t be any clearer than in Virginia in 2020, as the Commonwealth’s Circuit Courts brace for the July 1 availability of powerful new causes of action for emp loyees who allege discrimination, whistleblower reprisal, and wage and hour violations.
Join us as we outline how your practice will change due to the new laws taking effect — a direct outcome of the November 2019 elect ion, in which voters gave Democrats full control of legislative power in Ri chmond.
Top local attorneys from both sides, management and employee, will walk us through the new laws’ most important provisions: What are the available damages for each cause of action? Are there administrative filin g prerequisites? What are the elements and standards of proof? What are the distinctions between Virginia’s new statutes and their federal counterpart s?
We’ll answer all these questions — plus any more that you raise du ring this interactive event.
