New Rules for Restaurants – Regulations Streaming Out of D.C.

From National Restaurant Association

The Federal Government is currently engaged in an unprecedented effort to reshape rules for restaurant operations, the labor market, and the food supply chain. These regulatory actions can have far-reaching impacts on how restaurants build their workforce and design menu options in years to come. The National Restaurant Association is closely engaged on these issues through submitting public comments, meeting with federal agency officials, and supporting legislative oversight. 

On this webinar, you will learn: 

• How an expanded Joint Employer standard may create liability for independent restaurants that contract with outside services (i.e., janitorial cleaning) 
• Why an Independent Contractor rule adds confusion to restaurants that may utilize 3^rd party food delivery services 
• When a new Overtime Pay threshold could be established 
• How the FDA has proposed to overhaul Food Traceability standards, as well as remake sodium guidelines and menu guidance for “healthy” items
