 Agenda
​

1. Introductions

2. Employer Access to DMV Driver Records

Doug Patch, an attorney with Orr & Reno, and John Dian from Samba Safety will present on proposed legislation designed to allow quicker Dept of Mother Vehicle response for employers asking for driving records of prospective employees. If your company uses individual driving records as part of your employee hiring process you won't want to miss this meeting.


​3. Reasonable Accommodations for Nursing Mothers
Joyce Kelly and Lissa Sirois from the NH Breast Feeding Task Force will be back to share language and take comments on proposed legislation requiring employers to provide reasonable break time accommodations for nursing mothers. This is an issue that will affect almost all employers, so you will want to be a part of this discussion.

4. COVID-19 Paid Sick Time and Family Leave: Important Information for Employers
Our very own Committee Vice Chair, Andrea Chatfield, an employment law attorney with Cook, Little, Rosenblatt & Manson, will be providing a timely update on paid sick time and paid leave that was a part of the 2020 Families First Coronavirus Response Act. These benefits have been extended through March 31, but there are many caveats associated with the extension. Attorney Chatfield will be outlining the new provisions and what employers need to know about the benefit extension.​
