Is your Employee Handbook Ready for 2017?
Presented by Bruce Henderson, Phelps, Jenkins, Gibson & Fowler, L.L.P.
With the New Year come new obligations and responsibilities. This is especially true for the many changes in employment law that have transpired over the last few years. In this session, we will cover the most vital provisions that must be included in your Company’s employee handbook, such as at-will employment, harassment, confidentiality, and workplace violence. In addition, new obligations and changes in law will cause most employers – especially those who are considered “federal contractors” -- to modify their policies dealing with overtime, sexual orientation and LGBT issues, minimum wage and complaints about pay, dealing with postings on social media, confidentiality, FMLA and paid sick leave, and pregnancy.
