- Remote Workers
- Pay Transparency
- What’s Happening at the NLRB
- Noncompetes & Arbitration Agreements
- Overtime Rules
- Pregnancy, Disability and Religious Accommodations

“Employment law rapidly changes, and the Phillips Murrah Labor & Employment Law team strives to provide our clients with information and recommendations to stay compliant,” said Hendrick. “Our AM@PM events, such as our recent Dallas event, are an opportunity to engage in interactive discussion about the evolving issues.”
The panel discussion was followed by a lively Q&A session. The AM@PM Top Employment Law Issues for 2023 event was approved for attendees to receive MCLE (TX & OK) and HRCI credits.
