Employment lawyers Ellen Bronchetti and Damon Ott outlined the importance of reshaping the boundaries of human potential and employment relationships under the traditional employment model in their presentation, “What Works in Labor Law and the Future of Employment and Labor.”

In a professional environment currently shifting because of advances in technology and creative workforce restructuring, employers must take care to note restrictions put into place by traditional employment laws. While highlighting the benefits of employee telecommuting and use of independent contractors, Bronchetti & Ott caution employers to remain aware of the risks posed by these trends. Bronchetti and Ott recommended that employers and businesses conduct rigorous reviews of their workforces to ensure proper classification and compliance with all federal and state laws, as well as to consider strategies for improving workplaces and worker relationships to maximize their business potential.
