Webinar Description
Do you know what are the top 10 provisions of your employee handbook that can get your company in legal trouble? We know what they are, and we’ll tell you how to fix the problems. This 90 minute webinar, by employment lawyer Deirdre Kamber Todd, will focus on your company’s biggest, and often hidden, employee handbook pitfalls, using the acronym NO LAME DOCS. Attend this webinar to learn about the worst policy violators that probably are sitting in your employee handbook right now and the legally effective and critical items that should be added to your handbook. Ms. Todd will also discuss the latest NLRB guidance on what should and should not be in an employee handbook. Our agenda will include discussion regarding:
-
Commonly omitted legally required policies;
-
2014-2015 legally required changes that most handbooks don’t include;
-
Common drafting errors that routinely get employers into trouble; and
-
The relationship between your handbook and other company documents, such as contracts, and how to properly draft non-competes and other employee obligations.
Don’t have LAME DOCS – make sure you attend this program to find out what is hiding in your handbook!
