This podcast explores the various changes employers should expect after President-elect Biden takes office on January 20, as Proskauer employment attorneys Anthony Oncidi and Laura Fant join XpertHR Legal Editor David Weisenfeld. Oncidi heads the labor and employment group at Proskauer's Los Angeles office while Fant practices with the firm's New York City office.
While there would have been more developments had the Democrats taken control of the Senate (at best they can achieve a 50-50 split), Oncidi and Fant agree there will be significant action at the regulatory level. For instance, Fant noted the new administration is certain to hire more investigators at the US Department of Labor, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration and other agencies. Oncidi said employers should expect a host of executive orders, including some before the end of January.
