SUMMARY:Virginia Chamber: Webinar - New Virginia Employment Laws
DESCRIPTION:Virginia employers are facing one of the most significant shifts in employment law in recent years. \nThe 2026 General Assembly session produced a sweeping package of new employment-related legislation. With many provisions taking effect on July 1\, 2026\, businesses across the Commonwealth must prepare for changes affecting hiring practices\, workplace policies\, compliance obligations\, and litigation risk. \nTo help Virginia employers understand and prepare for these changes\, the Virginia Chamber Legal Institute will host a virtual briefing on Tuesday\, July 7\, 2026\, from 10:00 – 11:00 AM. \nThe webinar will be led by Charlie Meyer\, Partner at O’Hagan Meyer and Co-Chair of the Virginia Chamber Legal Institute\, who will provide an overview of key employment law developments from the 2026 General Assembly session and discuss their implications for Virginia employers. \nWhat You’ll Learn\nCharlie will walk through the new employment laws enacted by the General Assembly\, explain what they require of employers\, and outline practical steps Virginia businesses should take to achieve compliance and reduce risk. Topics include: \n\nPay Transparency (HB 636/SB 215)\nHeat Illness Prevention (HB 1092/SB 288)\nAppeal Bond Caps (HB 1111)\nNoncompete Restrictions (SB 170)\nClass Actions (HB 449/SB 229)\nPaid Sick Leave (HB 5/SB 199)\nPaid Family & Medical Leave (HB 1207/SB 2)\nExpanded Wage Liability (HB 238)\n\nThis session is designed for business leaders\, in-house counsel\, human resource professionals\, compliance officers\, and anyone responsible for employment practices within their organization. \nThis webinar is complimentary; however\, registration is required. \nREGISTER HERE
