Supervisor Development Certificate Program 2004-Session I

Session I: Employment Law - Keeping You and Your Employer Out of Trouble -- Speakers: Melinda Sanders and Shelly Davis, Quinlivan & Hughes

Description: State and federal laws affecting the work place are pervasive and ever-changing. Supervisors need to be aware of their rights and responsibilities under these laws, as well as the rights and responsibilities of the employees they supervise. In the workshop you will be introduced to a number of legislatively-enacted and judge-made laws that should govern the way you treat, pay, and supervise your employees, or at the very least raise your awareness level with respect to these laws. A majority of this workshop will be in lecture format, but some interactive sessions and demonstrative aids will be used to illustrate basic concepts and techniques that will help you stay out of trouble. (Attendance at this session is required to receive your certificate.)
