Home > Session #704: Managing Within the Law: Basic Highlights of What Every Manager Should Know About Employment Laws

SHRM 2013 Annual Conference
Workplace Application: This session will show you how to groom managers to embrace their roles as front line problem-solvers and understand how to manage in compliance with HR law.
 

 

Front line managers are the first line of defense for a company that wants to minimize exposure to costly litigation and government investigations. They are the first to field complaints, the first to investigate incidents, and the first responders to workplace tragedies -- yet they often receive very little training on how to handle those critical duties. This session, presented by an employment lawyer with 20+ years of practical experience, illustrates how you should give your managers annual training to educate them on their role as agents of the company and will help them learn how to: 

  • handle complaints of discrimination and harassment and which employment laws apply to them;
  • manage leave under various federal laws;
  • comply with wage payment laws;
  • manage union issues, hiring & firing; and
  • best practices for minimizing legal exposure.
