General Legal Obligations for Employers

Understanding the employment laws and regulations that affect your business is crucial. One oversight and you could open yourself up to employee lawsuits and government penalties.

Recruiting and Hiring

This course helps you understand the legal issues surrounding the hiring process and offers suggestions to help you select the best candidate. Upon completion, you’ll have the information you need to sail through every stage of hiring.

Course 3

Classifying Workers Correctly

Classifying workers properly can be a difficult task. This section guides you through the process of determining which employees can be considered “exempt” from overtime laws under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). And it will help prevent you from crossing the legal line by accidentally treating independent contractors as employees. When you’re done with the course, you’ll know everything you need to classify your workers the right way.

  • Applying the Exemption Tests

Managing Your Employees

This section focuses on the legal ins and outs of managing your employees. You’ll learn how to set up personnel files, develop company policies, track employee attendance, administer medical leave and much more. When you’re done, you’ll have a firm knowledge of your legal obligations – and expert guidance on how to be a more efficient, successful people manager.

  • Organizing Personnel Records
  • Paying Employees Correctly Under the FLSA
  • Establishing Personnel Policies
  • Managing Employee Attendance
  • Handling Medical Leave
Get Started

Course 5

Preventing Workplace Harassment

Workplace harassment is a sensitive issue for employees — and a potentially expensive one for employers. Left unaddressed, harassment can hurt morale, lower productivity and even lead to damaging lawsuits. This course gives you a solid understanding of what you need to do to protect your employees and your business. You’ll discover how to promote a harassment-free workplace, train your staff and handle a complaint.

Course 5 Training Modules:

  • Learning What Constitutes Harassment
  • Preventing Workplace Harassment
  • Training Employees and Managers
  • Handling Harassment Complaints
Get Started

Course 6

Handling Discipline and Termination

Addressing employee performance can be tough even for experienced managers. And when a situation calls for termination, the anxiety escalates – as does the legal risk. This course covers everything from documenting performance problems to what to say (and what not to say) during a termination meeting. In the end, you can proceed with confidence knowing you are serving the company’s best interest and staying within the limits of the law.

Course 6 Training Modules:

  • Understanding At-Will Employment
  • Documenting Performance Problems
  • Using Progressive Discipline
  • Deciding to Terminate
  • Conducting the Termination Meeting
