Employment Law Compliance in a Post-Covid Landscape: Evolving State Laws & the Impact on Geographically-Dispersed Workforces

Webinar | 09.21.23, 2:00 PM EDT - 3:00 PM EDT

Address

Virtual

Even as a return to in-person work has become more commonplace, remote work and geographically dispersed teams scattered across multiple states continue to pose legal, HR, and administrative hurdles for many businesses. Among other requirements, businesses must ensure compliance with employment laws, which are often highly detailed, vary widely from state to state (including regarding what nexus gives rise to compliance requirements), and prone to frequent changes.

Join us for this presentation in which Sadina Montani and Rachel Lesser will examine the current employment law landscape, including recent state-specific changes to employment laws, and the legal implications of hiring workers who reside in various jurisdictions across the United States.

This presentation stems from recent updates to Crowell’s 50-State Workforce Compliance site, as part of our Crowell Compass offering. The site includes a series of interactive maps and full-length state-by-state reports answering more than 80 questions across all 50 states relating to hiring and managing employees, including Employment, Tax, and Corporate components. This self-service offering is updated every six months, with linked client alerts notifying clients of significant changes in the meantime.

The presentation will explore:

  • The evolution of remote and geographically dispersed workforces
  • Specific areas of employment law that are implicated by the practice of retaining and hiring workers in various jurisdictions, including: personnel policies, benefits, financial, leave, and insurance
  • Best practices for risk mitigation vis-a-vis geographically mobile workers
  • Recently enacted statutes, court decisions, and legal trends on the horizon that may impact an employer’s decisions regarding hybrid work arrangements and onboarding out-of-state workers

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
