Get Up-to-the-Minute Information on Hot Legislative Issues, the Latest Court Rulings and Changes in Federal Regulations: HIPAA, COBRA, ADA, FMLA and Much More!

You can attend FREE with STAR12 membership - Get more info.



Program Description:

As an HR professional, you know there’s not a job on the planet harder hit than yours by the impact of legislative and regulatory changes.

Whether it’s FLSA, HIPAA, FMLA, ADA or the rest of the regulatory alphabet soup, the laws and rules affecting your HR function seem to change almost daily. It’s your job to know the finer points of these laws in order to keep your organization out of legal hot water – a huge responsibility, to say the least.

But there’s good news! The daunting task of staying up-to-the-minute on FLSA and dozens of other ever-changing compliance issues is now a whole lot easier, thanks to two cutting-edge workshops. FLSA Compliance & the HR Department and Emerging Issues in HR: A Regulatory Update are information-packed half-day workshops designed to deliver – in plain English – the “most important of the most important” on these two essential HR topics.

FLSA Compliance & the HR Department clarifies key requirements of FLSA compliance. Even the most informed HR professional gets confused by the rules and regulations and trying to keep up with recent changes. If you make a mistake, you could end up under investigation by the Department of Labor or get hit with a costly, time-consuming lawsuit from an employee. This seminar will clarify the latest changes and help you avoid FLSA’s trouble spots.

Emerging Issues in HR: A Regulatory Update will get you up-to-speed fast on crucial legal issues like HIPAA’s new electronic security rules, plus FMLA, ADA, Workers’ Compensation and the latest court rulings on sexual harassment, discrimination, privacy and more. This workshop is so current, in fact, that we can’t fully describe the agenda in this brochure; it will be revised between now and the time you attend so we can fill you in on the very latest legislation pending before Congress and regulatory agencies.

You have the option to attend only one session, but we firmly believe you’ll want to stay for both fact-filled programs. Just getting your questions on these complex HR topics answered by an expert is alone worth the cost of enrollment!

There’s no faster or better way to get the “must-know” information you need than to attend these cutting-edge workshops designed for busy HR professionals like you!

Bottom line: Make even one mistake concerning compliance with FLSA, FMLA, ADA and all the rest, and you can get your company fined, sued, or both. Isn’t it worth spending one energizing day away from the office to upgrade your knowledge on these crucial issues? You’ll leave with a ton of new information – and the peace of mind comes from knowing you’ve got your organization’s bases covered!
