About This Course
Employee handbooks seem fairly straightforward but ensuring compliance with the vagaries of state law can actually be complex, and further complicated for employers doing business in more than one state. Compliance with multiple, varying laws can be confusing as well as dangerous, as failure to do so can cause a company to face legal penalties. Added to the quagmire is that employers must simultaneously comply with all the state laws as well as the federal laws concerning workplace employment practices. These practices impact everything from wage and hours to smoking and sick leave as well as FMLA, harassment, overtime, minimum wages and more.
This CLE course is designed to offer an understanding of how to balance all of these concerns when drafting an employee handbook that will serve to protect an organization across state lines. The course will also offer warnings of what to look out for when drafting a multi-state handbook.
