In the third episode of Hospice Insights: The Law and Beyond, Meg Pekarske shares a lively discussion with colleague Jon Anderson on what should be front of mind for hospices in 2020 from a labor and employment perspective. Jon shares insights on what the new developments in wage and hour and employment discrimination laws mean for hospices across the country. We also delve into the important intersection between human resources and health care compliance when it comes to investigating compliance concerns and conducting exit interviews. Stay tuned for future podcasts in our Hospice Labor and Employment Trends series.
