Program Agenda

November 5, 2024

Sami Asaad

Sami Asaad, Esq., Partner, Pierson Ferdinand

Sami will share five real-life stories of home care agencies that got into legal trouble, including what happened, the agency’s exposure in the case, the actual total cost incurred (including legal fees!), and how it could have been prevented. The stories include a USDOL wage and hour audit of an agency with over 100 live-ins, two different employee lawsuits, a US Department of Justice investigation, and a client-collection suit that spun out of control. These stories and discussions will help highlight common risks and practical steps to avoid them.

Sami Asaad, Esq., Partner, Pierson Ferdinand

Sami provides proactive day-to-day counsel on a host of issues, ranging from familiar challenges, such as wage and hour compliance and sensitive personnel decisions, to emerging workplace concerns. These include remote/flexible work arrangements, arbitration agreements, mobile apps and employee privacy, alternative wage payment methods, state and local paid leaves, medical/recreational marijuana and drug testing, and accommodation of employees’ psychological disabilities and addictions. Sami's clients operate in a variety of industries including health care, staffing, technology, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, financial services, and retail.

Sami counsels home care agencies and provides innovative strategies on the unique issues agencies face, such as managing and compensating live-in aides. He has represented home care agencies in investigations by federal and state labor departments and has presented seminars and webinars to multiple home care franchise systems and industry groups, including the Home Care Association of America (HCAOA).

Sami also defends employers in lawsuits filed by employees in state and federal courts and in arbitration and represents employers in investigations by state and federal administrative agencies such as the EEOC and the U.S. Department of Labor. Sami has defended employers against claims of wrongful discharge, retaliation, discrimination, harassment, wage and hour violations, employee misclassification, breach of contract, and federal and state statutory violations.
