Mastering (and staying up to date on) state and federal requirements is definitely a full-time job in itself. If your supervisors make a mistake, even a well-intentioned one, your company could face expensive and embarrassing penalties and fines.

Don’t take this chance. Bring your supervisors along for our 90-minute audio conference on May 22, when our speaker – an experienced employment law attorney – will cover the basic legal do's and don’ts in the areas your supervisors deal with on a regular basis. From hiring and interviewing applicants, to complying with wage and hour rules, to handling leave requests, to preventing discrimination and harassment, and to disciplining or terminating workers, they’ll learn what they can – and cannot – do in your workplace. Plus, you’ll all have the chance to submit your own questions via phone or e-mail.

You and your supervisors will learn:

• The most common legal errors supervisors make – and how yours can avoid repeating them
• The best practices your supervisors should apply when interviewing and hiring workers
• How your supervisors can avoid running afoul of the wage and hour rules and setting up the perfect conditions for a costly class action
• What supervisors must know about the federal family and medical leave and pregnancy discrimination regulations
• How your supervisors can consistently apply the anti-discrimination and harassment prevention rules in your workplace
• The legal bases your supervisors need to cover when disciplining and terminating employees
