Do your organization's supervisors know why it is important to document ALL interaction
with employees?
What notes should they take when conducting an interview?
Do they know how to act when a subordinate makes a request
for a religious accommodation?
Not knowing the answers to these questions and other workplace issues can cost you.
There are now more than 160,000 workplace-related lawsuits pending,
according to "USA Today."
And 67% of workplace lawsuits that go to trial are won by the employee
- against the company - with damages averaging more than $500,000!
Unless you want to leave your organization vulnerable to lawsuits,
your supervisors MUST understand employment laws.
But how can you be certain your supervisors will know how to react
when they encounter a situation that could result in negative legal consequences?
Now - by taking one smart, affordable step - you can leave those worries behind.
In just 60 minutes in the comfort of your own office, you and your supervisors
can learn the legal do's and don't's by participating

while protecting your organization from devastating lawsuits.
Sign up for this information-packed event,

and LEGALLY supervise and manage employees.
In just 60 minutes you - and as many supervisors as you like - will understand:
1. The six primary types of unlawful discrimination (or the six so-called protected classes).
2. What notes to take in the interview and how to assess an applicant's credentials.
3. The difference between exempt and nonexempt employees.
4. How working a nonexempt employee "off the clock" or during an "unpaid lunch break or meal period" can violate the Fair Labor Standards Act.
5. That each time supervisors prepare a performance evaluation, they are preparing a piece of evidence that could be used in a lawsuit.

7. What to do when you inherit a group of poorly performing employees.
8. Why it's so important that supervisors document all interaction with subordinates.

10. How the "replacement factor" affects the discharge of an employee in a protected class.
11. The difference between a whistleblower and a troublemaker.
12. How banter or jokes based on a protected class can result in valid harassment charges, even if the banter and jokes are between people of the same race, sex, etc.
13. While discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or sexual preference may not be against federal law (although it is against the law in some states and municipalities), harassment can be.
14. How to avoid the next big lawsuit wave: retaliation.
15. What to do when an employee says she wants to take leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act.
16. Appropriate action to take when an employee claims a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act and requests a reasonable accommodation.
