FMLA COMPLIANCE BOOT CAMP
Managing employee leave continues to confound even today's most seasoned HR practitioner.

Then, there's the constant headache of intermittent leave. This workshop will help you cut through the confusion. You'll get legally sound strategies to ensure that your existing leave policies comply with FMLA's labyrinth of rules and regs.

CREATE SOCIAL MEDIA POLICIES THAT PROTECT YOUR ORGANIZATION FROM LAWSUITS
Blogs, social networking sites and YouTube may seem like attractive tools for meeting HR objectives, but before you dive in, beware of legal risks. Attend this workshop and learn how to craft and execute a social media policy that limits your organization's liability for harassment and discrimination. Your instructor, Molly DiBianca, will offer practical and legal advice for how you and your employees use social media tools at work.

EMPLOYMENT RECORDS COMPLIANCE WORKSHOP
Many employment lawsuits spring from improper or incomplete documentation practices. That's why it's vital that you employ legally safe practices when managing your company's employment records, since they can make or break your defense in court or in an agency audit.
