Employers throughout the United States are faced with rapid and increasing changes and developments in employment law. Currently, there are staggering numbers of employment-related claims being filed in state and federal courts and with various administrative agencies. Such claims can often result in tremendous employer liability as well as substantial legal expenses, causing employers to settle cases that may seem almost frivolous to avoid the risk and expense of employment litigation. 

For the manager and/or supervisor involved, such claims can be extremely upsetting, stressful, and embarrassing. For the employer, the real cost of litigation goes well beyond attorney fees and any settlements paid – the cost of lost productivity and lowered morale are debilitating.

It is virtually impossible for any employer to eliminate all potential employment litigation, but you can minimize the likelihood of these claims by eliminating common mistakes that could have easily been prevented by training for managers and supervisors. 

Virtually all decisions inherent in employment law violation lie with under-trained supervisors and managers. In this webinar, you will review the federal and state employment laws that impact your role (FLSA, FMLA, ADA, OSHA, and more), and explore strategies for reducing legal risk and potential challenges. This session reviews legal concepts and issues commonly confronting you in the workplace, and which underlie your responsibility under the law.

Awareness of the problem is the shortest road to avoiding the problem in the first place – stepping across the landmine.
