Course Objectives:

There are many laws and regulations that impact small businesses and many new laws that will emerge as we continue to focus on workplace and employee rights. This course will provide small and large businesses as well as HR professionals who are responsible for ensuring their company has the resources necessary to be compliant with current and new laws and regulations. It is essential for both small and large business to develop initiatives to be compliant as part of their risk management strategy.

Why Should You Attend:

It is important to understand that most regulatory agencies were created to support employees and protect them from companies who willfully violate their rights and take advantage of them for the company’s financial gain. However, most companies are committed to build their companies and create a good environment and culture for employees to work in. Most laws that are violated by small companies are based on lack of knowledge and resources which can unwittingly be a risk for them.

Moreover, there are employees who take advantage of companies by making workplace allegations of wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment and/or claims that their rights have been violated. It is not hard for these claims to be settled out of a court process with compensation arrangements to respond to these claims.
