HR Council: New Labor Laws. Are you ready?

October 29, 2026 8:00 AM - 9:15 AM (EDT)

Description

New Labor Laws. Are you ready? - An Expert Briefing & Interactive Q&A
Recent legislative updates have introduced significant new compliance burdens for Connecticut employers—impacting everything from hiring and job postings to employee leave and workplace accommodations. Whether you have 1 employee or 200, these changes apply to you. Join us for an exclusive, open-forum discussion with a leading employment attorneys, Nick Zaino and Vincent Farisello of Carmody Torrance Sandak & Hennessey LLP. We’ll skip the dense legalese and focus entirely on practical steps to keep your business protected.

About our presenters: 
Vincent Farisello is co-leader of the Labor & Employment practice, maintaining a versatile practice in the areas of labor and employment and general corporate law. Vincent’s clients include closely held and public businesses, non-profit organizations, independent schools, municipalities, and startups; in many cases, acting as clients’ general counsel.

Nick Zaino is co-leader of the firm’s Business Services practice. He practices primarily in the area of labor and employment law and has extensive experience counseling, representing, and training employers on all aspects of the employment relationship. Nick also has experience representing employers in traditional labor matters including negotiating collective bargaining agreements, arbitrating grievances, and defending unfair labor practice complaints.  His clients range from small to large companies in various industries such as banking, health care, education, manufacturing, engineering, retail, construction, and non-profit organizations.

Open to all area businesses - owners, managers, HR professionals and those handling HR for their business and others interested in the monthly topic.
