Reed Smith is proud to announce an exciting training session on the New York City Human Rights Law, one of the nation’s most employee-friendly anti-discrimination laws, presented by the New York City Commission on Human Rights, the agency that enforces the law itself. The program is designed to educate employers and business owners about basic concepts, protections, and obligations under the City law, including prohibited discriminatory and retaliatory practices, workplace accommodations, and limitations on the hiring process.
