Topics included:  Joint Employment after Browning Ferris  FLSA Update - Proposed Exemption Regulations  DOL proposed FLSA Regulations for Minimum Wage & Overtime.  Practical Considerations for Proposed FLSA Regula- tions  Act Now to Prepare for Proposed FLSA Regulations  DOL's Proposed FLSA Regulations: Where do we go from here?  New Healthcare System  King vs. Burwell  Obergefell vs. Hodges  Affordable Care Act Update - 1094/1095 Reporting Those in attendance received some great insight into what to expect in the next couple years and where the current laws stand. We appreciate both Mr. Stiles and Mr. Scott taking time to help the AGA members understand what is coming up in the near future relative to the Healthcare Law.

Buy Alabama’s Best Campaign

AGA was proud to again be a part of the Buy Alabama’s Best Campaign in 2015. We were successful in pro- moting Alabama products with displays, ads and sampling events as well as help raise money for Children’s of Alabama. Our efforts to find a cure for childhood cancer raised over $30,000 in 2015 alone and to date we have raised over half a million dollars. Please help support the program again in 2016!

Join us in March and September to promote Alabama products that are made, manufactured and produced in the state. To date with the help of our retailers and suppliers we have been able to donate over half a million dollars to Children’s of Alabama.
