COURSE DESCRIPTION: If your company does business in one state, drafting a solid employee handbook is a tough challenge. If you do business in multiple states, it can be fraught with legal perils.
The reason is that both federal and state laws regulate workplace employment practices such as employee leave, non-compete agreements, harassment, minimum wage, overtime, etc. What’s right in one state may cause you major legal problems in another.
Don’t let it happen. Draft a handbook that protects you in every state you do business in. This online training event will highlight the most common legal pitfalls multi-state employers face when creating their employee handbooks. You will learn:
- Which policies are most likely to cause problems for multi-state employers
- Which disclaimers you need to include in your employee handbook
- The pros and cons of drafting separate handbooks vs. one handbook with a local practices section
- Special concerns about state-by-state Cell Phone and Texting Laws
- How differing state laws lead to discrimination claims
- Key differences in breach-of-contract law state-by-state
- State-by-state differences in laws applying to employees who work remotely
- Other key legal traps related to specific state:
- FMLA and leave-of-absence laws
- Prohibitions on deductions from paychecks
- Jury duty laws
- No-smoking laws
