Employment Law and Benefits Committee

Join our employment law and benefits network

The NRF Employment Law and Benefits Committee collaborates on labor, human resources and employment law issues, including trends in litigation, new policy developments and best practices. This network provides members the opportunity to network with industry leaders and exchange information.  

This group examines health care and benefit legislative and regulatory policies that affect retailers and recommend policy positions for NRF advocacy. In addition, members serve as NRF's technical committee on labor law and employee relations matters and regularly files amicus briefs on behalf of the industry.
