Our 1st Quarter NW HR Best Practices Roundtable has been scheduled for Thursday, March 8, 2012.

The topic is Seattle’s new Sick & Safe Leave Ordinance. The format will be an open discussion with Katheryn Bradley of Lane Powell to answer questions.

Katheryn Bradley is an employment lawyer who has advised local and national employers on complying with Seattle’s Sick & Safe Leave Ordinance, including how to address the ordinance’s limitations on Paid Time Off policies, and how to resolve conflicts between the ordinance and other state and federal leave and disability accommodation laws.

Katheryn devotes a substantial part of her practice to counseling managers and human resource professionals in organizations of all sizes. She advises clients on best practices to manage leave and navigate through the interactive process to accommodate disabled employees. She helps employers avoid claims by preparing effective workplace policies and counseling them through reductions in force, separations and terminations. Katheryn works closely with business executives to enforce non-competition agreements and respond to cease and desist letters. Katheryn also provides interactive EEO training to managers, and frequently speaks at employment law seminars.
