2026 Summer Labor and Employment Law Breakfast Briefing

July 28, 2026

By: James J. Rooney and Peter H. Wiltenburg

Please join us for the next session of our Labor & Employment Law Breakfast Briefing Series, designed to keep you informed on the latest developments impacting your workplace.

This program will focus on best practices for employers seeking to avoid retaliation claims after an employee lodges a complaint about his or her treatment in the workplace.

This session will highlight strategies that help employers recognize protected activity, document legitimate disciplinary actions and prevent supervisors from taking steps that could be viewed as retaliatory. The discussion will address all aspects of potential retaliation claims, including:

  • What types of employee complaints can serve as the basis of a retaliation claim?
  • What rights do employees have after they make a complaint about the workplace?
  • What is the scope of the New York State whistleblower laws?
  • How can an employer pursue discipline against an employee after he or she has complained about the workplace?
  • How can employers limit their exposure to retaliation claims?
