Webinar: Proposed Rules on Requirements Related to the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act 9/7/2023 11:00 AM - 9/7/2023 12:15 PM

Thu, 31 Aug 2023 09:21:10 GMT

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) announced a virtual webinar on September 7, 2023 from 11:00 am to 12:15pm to discuss its recently issued proposed rule seeking stronger compliance with the requirements of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA). As we detailed when this proposed rule published on July 28, 2023, the MHPAEA aims to ensure that access to mental health and substance use disorder benefits through health plans—include jointly-trusteed labor-management health plans—is not more restrictive than access to medical and surgical benefits.

During the September 7th webinar, the EBSA will explain the key features of the proposed rule and how to submit comments on it. While there is no stated deadline, registration is required to participate in the webinar and can be completed through WebEx here. Questions about the webinar can be directed to Debra Golding with DOL at golding.debra@dol.gov

How to Reduce Employment Liability With Defensible Documentation Webinar 9/19/2023 9:00 AM - 9/19/2023 10:00 AM

Mon, 31 Jul 2023 12:41:34 GMT

Human Resources is infamous for repeating three words, “document, document, document.” There is no doubt documentation is crucial. However, what you document and how you document is critical if faced with a legal challenge. When challenged with a lawsuit, what the employer documented, and how it was documented will be either your defense – or that which helps the other side to win.

The purpose of employers keeping documentary records is to show they comply with applicable laws. However, records often as not, do just the opposite. Because any documentation is certainly not necessarily quality documentation. Instead, employment documentation can often be in reference to or appear, as a fact that serves as proof an employer did not follow the law. Such supposedly defensible documentation instead appears (or shows) that the employer acted improperly in any of a myriad of situations.

This webinar will cover in detail how to produce high quality documentation and what not to do in terms of documentary practices in regards to timing, content and purpose. This webinar will include examples of documentation both quality and not. Just as importantly, this webinar will also cover how to persuade your managers to view documentation as just as important for them, as it is to the company.

Presented By: Jamie Hasty, Vice President, SESCO Management
