"Keeping Up With The Times: Employment Law Update & Trends"

HR professionals are constantly challenged to keep up with the ever-changing workplace, employment laws and technology. There are more employment laws and cases than any other area of litigation. They are ever-changing. There is always a new regulation, a new interpretation, another surprise liability. Do you stay awake at night worrying about what is lurking for you in employment law? If you stay updated, you may be able to be prepared and rest easy. This update will provide information on hot topics, trends and recent developments in areas of importance for employers and provide the opportunity for questions and answers.

The cases which make major headlines are often not the most important for hands-on HR and business managers to understand. The most important for actual day-to-day operations and practical Do’s and Don’ts are less well known but have much greater impact. This program will emphasize the useful lessons which should be learned from these cases and developing trends.

What you will learn:

· Things to expect under the new administration

· Lessons of the Past Year. Every year, key court cases are decided which reveal errors HR & managers could have avoided

· Significant cases on FMLA, discrimination, privacy, personal liability and the “most unusual cases of the year”

· Coming attractions and trends
