WHY ATTEND

Employment compliance in higher education has never been more complex. Leaders must now manage faculty and staff who work remotely, teach online, or serve across multiple states, each with unique labor laws, tax requirements, and reporting obligations.

This roundtable brings together faith-based higher education leaders who are addressing these challenges in real time. Together, we’ll explore practical, mission-aligned strategies to strengthen compliance while supporting a modern, flexible workforce.

At this session, you will:

• Understand the compliance implications of remote work: Explore how state-specific labor, tax, and employment laws affect remote employees, adjuncts, and contractors both within and outside your home state.
• Learn how peers are adapting to a dispersed workforce: Hear how faith-based universities are managing remote employees, hybrid schedules, and cross-border engagements while maintaining institutional values.
• Avoid costly missteps and audit risks: Gain insights from lessons learned at peer institutions, what worked, what didn’t, and how to mitigate risk in hiring, payroll, and classification.
• Leave with actionable strategies: Walk away with clear steps and best practices to strengthen compliance, improve remote workforce visibility, and simplify multi-state operations.
