NFIB State Director Ashley Ranslow recently hosted an informative virtual event for members, partnering with Littler Law, to help small business owners comply this year with updated state labor policies. Too many small businesses get tripped up with labor law compliance despite their best intentions, and most do not have in-house council or HR departments to track ever-changing labor laws. NFIB provides the guidance and updates you need. This free educational session provided the latest news that effects small business owners, showing tips and skills for navigating a high-risk business environment like New York State.
