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



Program Description:

As an HR professional, the number of legal issues you need to be aware of can be overwhelming. Especially when you consider the increasingly litigious nature of our society — and the many nuances of employment law. At this intensive two-day course, you'll cover the core skills it takes to safely interview job candidates ... counsel employees ... and mediate disputes.

You'll gain a thorough understanding of EEOC and ADA regulations. You'll learn how to comply with the Family and Medical Leave Act. Plus, you'll take part in practical exercises that give you a chance to practice and refine dozens of new HR techniques. With all that is at stake, this is an investment that is well worth your time and money to gain peace of mind.
