Be Ready for an Effective Employee Manual
March 20, 2019 8:30am-12:30pm
Claremont Savings Bank
|
With a focus on specific situations, this workshop will help you avoid common mistakes that could leave your business open to potentially costly lawsuits. When an employer is sued, the employee manual is often used in court to help establish company policies and potential violations. Incorrectly written, your employee manual can create more problems for you than it solves. You want a manual that protects you and your employees, not one that could be used as evidence against you.
**Prior to this seminar our experts will audit your current employee manual. We’ll return it to you at the seminar with our audit findings and recommendations. And if your organization doesn’t have an employee manual – then we’ll make sure you leave the seminar with a template and a roadmap to create your own!**
This workshop is a must for: business owners, HR directors, managers and anyone else responsible for dealing with employee rights and concerns.
