|
MHLS Member Library Directors indicated through a recent survey that the area of human resources law is the #1 area that they are seeking more information on.
To that end, MHLS has worked with Shari Fallon, PHR, SHRM-CP, of Cornell University to create a webinar series in the first quarter of 2019 that will provide an introduction to the federal and state laws that most commonly impact personnel policy and practice.
Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
FLSA establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and child labor standards affecting full-time and part-time workers. Get an introduction to the basics about this critical law!
Friday, January 11th | 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Key Employment Legislation & Compensation Issues
During this webinar we will cover the Top 10 Legal Mistakes by Supervisors; Wage Theft Prevention Act, Equal Employment, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the federal Family Medical Leave Act among others.
