Detailed Overview/Outline

A comprehensive course on the critical legal issues that today's new and experienced HR professionals need to know.

Spend a day away from the office and get a new perspective on your HR challenges and new tools for meeting them confidently and legally. Class Action lawsuits ... hints of sexual harassment ... regulations for interviewing and hiring.

There's no end to the legal pitfalls you face every day on the job, and as a human resources professional, you're expected to stay on top of it all.

But every day you still deal with situations that have the potential to derail your organization and land you - and your organization - in legal hot water.

The coworkers who flirt with one another day after day, until one of them decides to move on. A potential harassment claim?

The qualified applicant who was interviewed but not hired. Could it be considered hiring discrimination?

The new mother on maternity leave whose replacement turns out to be a "superstar." Is her manager obligated to hire her back?

These are just 3 examples of countless situations you might encounter in a normal day - and any one of them could blow up into major legal trouble.

In order to excel in your position, you must not only successfully handle the day-to-day duties of your HR department, you must also have a working knowledge of employment law, new hiring trends, and benefits management. That takes a lot of time and energy, and nobody understands that better than you.

Meeting that challenge requires continuing education that keeps you abreast of the latest legal changes along with the best employment practices. That is why this seminar is so important.

In one information-packed day, you'll learn what you need to know to handle the legal issues and gray areas you face every day. You'll also learn how to think like a lawyer, so you can anticipate and sidestep problems before they arise. This alone is well worth the price of the seminar. If you deal with the legal issues surrounding human resources, as an HR professional or even a manager or supervisor, you need to enroll today!
