This alert is the first in a series that will address significant employment provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. President Obama signed this massive legislation on July 21, 2010. Dodd-Frank attempts a sweeping reform of the financial and banking industries on a scale not seen since the New Deal era. As the latest Congressional legislation well exceeding 1,000 pages, Dodd-Frank goes far beyond its title and contains a number of measures for employers to consider.
