An Ounce Of Prevention Is Worth A Pound Of Cure: Employment Law Compliance For Small Employers
Every day, we read about employment litigation involving large employers – class actions, eye-catching settlement figures, judgments for and against many Fortune 500 companies. What doesn’t get quite as much attention are the compliance problems of small employers. Small employers are subject to many of the same requirements as large employers but often lack the infrastructure to ensure compliance.
This training program is specifically designed to address and explore the risks faced by small employers. We focus specifically on employers with fewer than 20 employees. The program is designed to introduce the most important employment law issues facing small employers. The material is presented using an interactive approach and offers practical problem-solving strategies.
Participants will also receive a Tool Kit containing essential compliance forms, checklists, and guidance.
Topics include:
- Hiring traps, strategies and compliance measures;
- Managing and documenting employee performance;
- Critical employment policies: limiting liability and exposure while serving your business needs;
- Limiting exposure to a wage and hour complaint;
- Firing traps, strategies and compliance measures;
- How to avoid discrimination claims; and
- Protecting confidential information in the workplace.
In addition to offering this training throughout the year at the Firm’s offices, we are available to present this training at chambers of commerce, professional consortiums or a client’s workplace. We are also happy to tailor the program to meet the individual needs of our clients.
A Beginner's Guide To Health And Safety In The Workplace
Employees who are responsible for implementing OSHA compliance programs in the workplace spend years developing an expertise in the intricacies of OSHA compliance. Most Human Resources professionals do not have the need or the time to become experts in OSHA compliance. However, health and safety issues can have a big impact on the employment relationship and, therefore, it is important for the HR team to have at least a general familiarity with OSHA requirements.
This training provides a general introduction to the health and safety issues that come up time and time again for HR professionals, including:
- An employer’s obligations under the General Duty Clause of OSHA;
- Preparing for a pandemic;
- Workplace violence issues; and
- What to do when an OSHA inspector arrives on site.
This training is offered in the Advanced Employment Law Boot Camp program. In addition, we regularly conduct this training at our client’s workplaces and we are happy to tailor the program to meet the specific training objectives of individual clients.
