Session 1: 10:30 AM ET - Sponsored by Intelycare

What long-term care organizations need to know about misclassification lawsuits

Once a means of quickly finding nursing staff, the use of staffing agencies that leverage 1099 contractor models is getting increasingly complicated for nursing home providers. The Department of Labor has taken a keen interest in healthcare worker classification, recently suing a skilled nursing facility operator for $19 million for using a popular tech-enabled agency that allegedly misclassified its nurses. In this timely webinar, we’ll explore the DOL’s stance on 1099 workers in healthcare, what’s been going on in recent litigation, and how facilities can protect against labor-related risks. 

Attendees of this webinar will learn:

• The difference between nursing staff classified as 1099 vs. W-2
• Why the DOL has renewed its focus on labor classifications
• What facilities are potentially liable for if a 1099 contractor is reclassified as a W-2 worker

Speakers: 

• Larry DeHoyos, CPCS, PESC, Director of Credentialing at IntelyCare

• Michael Berdik, Chief Legal Officer at IntelyCare

• Sean Carney, AVP Partnerships at IntelyCare

Session 2: 12:00 PM ET - Sponsored by KARE

Creating an employee experience for your modern-day careforce    

The gap between caregivers and open positions within our industry continues to widen. This shortage means employers must stay competitive when it comes to attracting and retaining staff. By extensively working with caregivers across the country, KARE has learned that employee experiences within organizations must be engaging to effectively hire and retain staff.  

Join us on a journey through the employee experience. Starting with results from original research conducted by KARE, you will gain a deeper understanding of today’s careforce and a framework upon which you can build a cohesive employee experience playbook. The journey ends with best practices from KARE’s “HERO LoveJourney”,  our own organization’s playbook for the HERO experience. 

In this session, you will gain an understanding of:   

• Demographics, personas, and desires of the modern-day careforce. 
• The employee lifecycle and how it can be used to create an employee experience strategy in your organization.  
• How to craft an employee experience to attract and retain staff utilizing industry-agnostic tactical methods.

Speaker: 

• Katie Rhone, SPHR, Vice President at HERO Development
