Human Resources and Employment Law Essentials: 2-Day In-Person Seminar

Course Description:

Is your company at risk for non-compliance? Is your company a lawsuit waiting to happen?

Employment lawsuits are on the rise. Last year, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforcement collected $372.1 million in monetary damages, the highest recovery in agency history. Also, for the last three years, the EEOC reported a record high number of claims filed by employees.

When employers are not properly prepared for workplace issues, companies could face discrimination suits, litigation, settlements, lawyer fees, unplanned expenses, employee turnover, morale issues, and possible negative community image. This Human Resources and Employment Law Seminar will assist companies in maintaining employment law compliance as well as litigation avoidance.

Whether you are in a small company or a large corporation, possessing knowledge of employment laws and HR practices are essential to business success. The number of employment laws/issues you have to be aware of can be overwhelming. In this seminar, you will learn how to deal with confusing human resource situations and how to apply employment laws correctly.

Topic Background:

Employment laws and regulations are not only confusing; they are constantly changing. Trying to keep up with the laws can be extremely frustrating for business owners, executives, managers, supervisors, and those who are responsible for applying the laws in the workplace. It is essential to maintain compliance, especially when you consider the increasingly litigious nature of our society as well as government fines and penalties.

Employment lawsuits are on the rise too. Last year, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforcement collected $372.1 million in monetary damages, the highest recovery in agency history. Also, for the last three years, the EEOC reported a record high number of claims filed by employees. Employment litigation has increased 2000% since 1995. The average lawsuit settlement is $165,000 (not including lawyer fees) and could cost more than $1,000,000 if the case goes to trial.

The Affordable Care Act is now law. The President will soon be issuing mandates to revise federal overtime regulations. Employers are paying excessive fines for ADA violations. Family and Medical Leave Act abuse is through the roof. Don’t miss this information packed session to help protect your company.
