Anyone who has been in litigation knows the sinking feeling of receiving a lawsuit about a workplace issue or policy that didn’t “feel right,” but was never remedied.  As an organization, you want to know where you stand.  By evaluating your organization and implementing policies and best practices on the front end, you can help create a culture that proactively addresses employee issues and avoids costly legal problems. 

In this webinar, we will review HR policies and practices with an eye towards emerging “hot button” legal issues and common pitfalls that lead to lawsuits, including:

• Wage and hour compliance
  
  
• Independent contractor agreements and status
  
  
• Key handbook policies
  
  
• Employee background checks
  
  
• Arbitration agreements
  
  
• Recent legislation, including state and local paid sick leave laws
