Event Description:
"Top 10 Mistakes In An Employee Handbook That Create Legal Exposure for Employers"
Within this seminar, we will discuss the current employment claim trends that employers are seeing and go through various handbook policies that an employer must have to proactively avoid such claims or, if they are filed, to successfully defend against such claims.
We will discuss the importance of a "Wage/Hour and Overtime Policy" and ensuring that such a policy has very specific language addressing working off the clock or working overtime hours.
We will also discuss the importance of preparing a Social Media policy and an Internet and Email policy with the right language as there are a load of traps present in these areas.
Possibly most critical of all is explaining in detail the correct verbiage that should be used within an employer's "Equal Employment Opportunity Complaint Procedure." This is an area that employers mess up all the time and having the wrong language in this type of policy has huge negative implications when facing an employment dispute.
Our goal in this seminar is to make employers aware of the gaps that plaintiff's employment layers try to exploit so they can get them corrected and have some fun along the way
