Presented by Erik Derr, Esq. and Maria Matkou, Esq., Becker LLC

As part of a growing trend throughout the country, starting June 1, 2025, New Jersey employers will be required to disclose salary and compensation programs in job postings. This will pose a new challenge to employers, including staffing companies, statewide.

"Legal and Legislative Update: What to Expect from the 119th Congress and State Governments"
Presented by Toby Malara, American Staffing Association

With control of Congress and The White House, Republicans have high hopes and a long to-do list of what they would like to accomplish over the next two years. But slim majorities, and a less than unified Congress, will present more than a fair share of road blocks. And how will state governments, especially blue states, react to the plans of this Congress and administration?

Toby Malara is Vice President of Government Affairs for the American Staffing Association. In his role, Malara directs ASA’s government relations, lobbying, and political activities, including the operations of the associations’ political action committee, StaffingPAC. He also advises members on immigration/I-9, paid sick leave, sales tax, and per diem issues. Malara graduated from Georgetown University and earned a J.D. from the Columbus School of Law at Catholic University.

11:30 p.m. - 12:15 p.m.
