HOW TO AVOID PERSONAL LIABILITY IN EMPLOYMENT CASES
Duration: 90 minutes
Speaker: Bob Gregg
Webinar Description
Beware and be aware! In employment disputes, the employer is usually the only party sued. But, in a growing number of cases, plaintiffs are accusing both the employer as well as the individual manager of actually committing the violation of law. In these cases, the court may award damages against both the organization and the individual manager. In some cases the plaintiff can elect to collect from either, or both. You may suffer personal liability for merely doing your job. Personal liability means that legal damages are collected from the individual's personal bank account, retirement fund and/or sale of personal property (car, home , collectibles, etc). This 90 minute webinar by employment lawyer Bob Gregg covers the danger areas for personal liability of company managers, insurance coverage issues, and preventative practices.
