Shareholders Philip Gordon, Chair of Littler’s Workplace Privacy and Data Protection Practice Group, and Barry Hartstein, Co-Chair of the firm’s Hiring and Background Checks Practice Group, will be two of the three panelists at a Bloomberg BNA webinar, entitled Navigating the Increasingly Treacherous Waters of Pre-Employment Background Checks: Challenges for Employers and Potential Bounties for Employees. This webinar will describe the new hotbed of state and local legislative activity in the area of pre-employment criminal, credit, and social media background checks as well as the recent spike in regulatory enforcement and private litigation in the area. Gordon and Hartstein will explain the practical implications of these developments for employers and identify key steps that employers can take to reduce the risk that their pre-employment screening practices will attract regulatory scrutiny or civil enforcement actions.
The event will occur on Wednesday, September 11, 2013, from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM (EST). For more information about the webinar, please click here.
