Overview

Did you know that you can go to jail for not following basic employment law? It happened in the summer of 2023. While this is a rare occurrence (and happened because they ignored a court order-jail isn't the first stop), getting sued or just treating employees wrong is something that happens all the time.

Managers aren't expected to be employment law experts-that's what HR and employment attorneys are for-but they need to know enough not to make a stupid mistake. And they need to recognize when there may be a law at issue so that they can call in an expert.

This webinar covers the basics of six major employment laws that every manager needs to know.
