Failure to comply with federal, state and local employment laws can subject employers to huge costs in defending employment related lawsuits. Defense and settlement costs can average hundreds of thousands of dollars, and these cases can take years to resolve. As a result, more than ever, HR must avoid the common mistakes that lead to costly litigation. Join us for this important session which will cover:

• Poor hiring practices
• Not properly verifying work eligibility (via I-9 forms)
• Misclassification of employees
• Paystub violations
• Outdated employee handbooks (or none at all)
• Outdated job descriptions (or none at all)
• Failure to properly manage performance
• Meal and rest period violations
• Failure to accommodate
• Leave of absence mistakes
• Failure to properly investigate complaints
• Privacy violations
• OSHA violations
• Failure to properly train
• Misguided terminations

The session will also provide a brief look at emerging issues in employment law for the remainder of 2022.
