Employment Law for Managers

WEBINAR

Wednesday, October 28
1:00 p.m. (Eastern)

The major employment laws every supervisor needs to know

All people managers should have a basic understanding of employment law. And while they aren’t expected to be employment law experts—that’s what HR and employment attorneys are for—managers must recognize when there may be a law coming into play so they can call in an expert.

Do your supervisors know which job interview questions are illegal? Do they know how to respond to employees’ requests for leave? Or which words in performance reviews are almost guaranteed to trigger legal disputes? Do they know how to handle reasonable accommodation requests for pregnancy, disability and religion?

And what about the federal law that provides unlimited breaks to express milk? Have you trained supervisors to grant most pregnancy accommodation requests immediately? There are serious penalties for supervisors who don’t allow breaks or accommodations. Are they up-to-date on reverse discrimination and bias against Americans? Their lack of basic employment law knowledge is putting your organization (and your HR reputation) at a major risk.

On October 28, gather your management team for this comprehensive training on how to manage employees in the most legally safe way. The newly updated webinar is the perfect way to help supervisors understand that their actions can inadvertently support lawsuits against your organization—and possibly against supervisors (or you) personally.

Bonus: If your organization does get sued, the court will ask if you’ve ever trained managers on their legal responsibilities. This simple 75-minute training is a good-faith defense that your HR department has done its part.

WEBINAR AGENDA:
