Employment Law: Avoid Common Legal and HR Mistakes (Webinar)

Описание: At-will employment in the U.S. may suggest that the laws are easy to navigate. In reality, however, all businesses - from start-ups to multinationals— must comply with an alphabet soup of employment laws – at the federal, state, and sometimes local level. To complicate matters further, new laws have been implemented in response to the COVID pandemic, and existing laws continue to be changed. To retain the advantages of the at-will employment flexibility that US employment law offers, employers need to be up-to-speed on the fundamentals as well as how to avoid common mistakes made by even the most sophisticated employers.

This session covered key areas of employment law, recent changes, and ways to avoid common mistakes made by employers. Discussion topics include best practices and mistakes made relating to:

The hiring process
Restrictive covenants
Employee exemption and independent contractor classification
Leaves of absence
Discrimination and sexual harassment law
Establishing workplace policies
Discipline and termination
