Summary
With the elections now in the rearview mirror, the pending inauguration of President-elect Biden and the convening of the new Congress in January, employers are determining how the changes in Washington, D.C. will impact their business. In this program, our ELA panel will provide an overview of the expected Congressional and federal agency actions during the final weeks of the Trump Administration and what employers can expect during the Biden-Harris Administration.
