FLSA Misclassification Issues - Exempt or Non-Exempt ?

How to answer the question and what to do if you are wrong. We will cover an employer's best practices for classifying employees, responding to an investigation and conducting self-audits.

Employment Law in Up and Down Economies

How to ride out the economic downturn and position your company for the eventual recovery. We will help you understand and minimize the legal risks when considering acquisitions, RIFs, reorganziations, furloughs and rehires.

When Should HR Call an Employment Lawyer, and When Should Lawyers Defer to HR?

The interaction between HR professionals and employment lawyers can lead to better results, greater efficiency, and rewarding relationships. In some cases, however, the lines between the skills and expertise of the two groups can be blurred leading to poor results. If you've ever been frustrated by lawyers having too much control over HR or ever wondered, "When should I call legal?," you should attend this important discussion.
