Episode Details

The end of 2026 is coming up quickly, but there is still plenty for employers to think about before the year wraps up.

In this episode of Ground Rules, Pam Howland, Jennifer Walrath, and Doug Plass run through an end-of-year checklist for employers, including handbook updates, cold and flu season, workplace holiday parties, accommodations, and remote work considerations.

They also talk about newer issues that may be worth revisiting in your policies, from AI and social media to technology-related harassment and remote-work expectations.

Plus, the IEL team has a busy fall ahead! Pam, Jennifer, and Doug share where you can find Idaho Employment Lawyers at conferences, trainings, and events over the next few months.
