The hiring process can be a legal minefield. This class gives employers the information to navigate the legal risks of hiring. No matter what industry or what size business, hiring practices must follow state and federal law. This material also gives employers guidance to avoid being sued. Discuss specific ways of interviewing to get the most valuable information and make informed hiring selections. Learn how to sell your business while retaining your most valuable asset employment at-will.
Employee handbooks are expensive for employers to develop and maintain. This class will discuss the laws, regulations, benefits and downfalls of having an employee handbook. Some courts interpret language in employee handbooks as a binding contract, so the class also covers how to avoid any unconditional promises of employment. Discuss how to make sure your handbook covers a variety of important business practices but also how to avoid an “unmanageable” handbook.
