This is a NEW one-day course geared to Human Resource positions only. This seminar allows all levels of HR to ensure that they are compliant with the rapidly evolving employment laws that impact the HR role and responsibilities. HR can be held individually liable for many of its functions, so continuing education is vital. This seminar will be a hands-on “how to” approach to training with scenarios, checklists, step by stop guides, sample letters and form. We will review mock situations for each topic to find the non-compliant areas and show how to correct them. Please join two employment lawyers with over 40 years of combined experience (with a little bit of humor) to help you learn and/or refresh on the following critical skills and processes:
