Staying up-to-date on our ever-migrating herd of employment laws is critical for HR and management. The calendar year may not be over yet, but the last twelve months brought a host of changes from courts, lawmakers and more. It’s time for a legal round up of those employment law changes.
Join us for the following:
- What new laws, regulatory changes and court developments demand attention by employers and HR?
- How can those legal changes impact you and your company’s bottom line?
- How to ‘ride herd’ – what key action items (policy revisions, trainings, etc.) should HR consider or pursue?
Look for some lively analysis of this year’s legal changes and how they affect employers—and some practical application / workplace scenarios, too. We hope to see you there!
