Description

Think a minor tweak in employment law won’t rock your world? Think again. In long-term care, even the smallest legal shift can create an undertow that pulls administrators, DONs, and HR teams into staffing challenges, liability concerns, and operational headaches.

In this fast-paced and only slightly sarcastic update, attorney Grant Pecor will take attendees beneath the surface of the latest employment law developments most likely to impact long-term care facilities. Together, we’ll dive deeper into the policies, practices, and compliance issues that may look calm on the surface but can quickly create waves if left unchecked.

From employee absences and liability exposure to new mandates and real-world policy pitfalls, this session will help leaders spot hidden risks before they become full-blown operational storms. Expect frank explanations, practical examples, and a few eye-rolls at the absurdities of bureaucracy.

Attendees will surface with strategies to minimize liability, strengthen staff management practices, update policies that actually work in the real world, and better understand how small compliance wins can prevent big operational disasters.
