Notes from the Chair and Executive Editor -
Welcome to 2016's first edition of SuperVision Today, the enewsletter from Spilman Thomas & Battle's Labor & Employment Group.
Our clients in West Virginia certainly are aware of two significant legislative reforms passed by our Legislature in the past month: the adoption of right-to-work legislation and the repealing of the prevailing wage. Kevin Carr and Eric Kinder explain, in a rhetoric-free way, what that legislation means legally and, more importantly, what it means for you. In order to complement this, we will be presenting a webinar on that topic in the middle of March. In addition, Erin Jones Adams is presenting a webinar in late March on Effective (and Defensible) Workplace Investigations. Be on the lookout for more information on both of these webinars in the near future...
..In this edition of SuperVision Today, in addition to the article Kevin Carr and Eric Kinder prepared regarding new West Virginia legislation, Erin Jones Adams offers suggestions to help prepare you for the ever-changing reality of litigation in an electronic age. Larissa Dean takes a look at promoting workplace diversity in these changing times. And, the newest member of our labor & employment team, Mitchell Rhein, discusses important information regarding clients in the healthcare industry about how enforcement of HIPAA regulations is increasing. There is more on Mitch in our featured bio portion of this e-newsletter.
We hope you enjoy this issue.
