Program Description:
What if the only thing standing between your company and a devastating lawsuit is ...
  • That new HR assistant you just hired? Or ...
  • That manager who “doesn’t have time” for your training sessions? Or ...
  • An overworked HR staff member who overlooks an obscure wrinkle in an important federal law?
Are you 100 percent sure they can handle EVERY situation that comes their way? Truth is, there are 1,001 different scenarios going on throughout your company every day that impact employment law, benefits administration, compensation, and even fringe benefits.
And it only takes one mistake – however unintentional – to cause significant damage to your company’s ability to do business. Companies shell out an average of $750,000 in damages for wrongful termination suits that they lose! Even more sobering … more and more companies are losing these suits each year.
Which makes it more important than ever for your HR staff (and other managers and supervisors in your company) to possess a keen working knowledge of the fundamentals of HR law. But where can you get this training quickly, easily – and accurately?
Come to this seminar. In just one day, we’ll cover the basics of HR law in a fastpaced, plain-English way that will provide a whole new level of understanding to anyone who has to deal with the thousands of facets of employment law.

With this payroll management training, you'll gain strategies to handle payroll accurately, legally and with complete confidence.
What you don't know can hurt you. That's never more true than when dealing with payroll law. The first step to complying with regulations is understanding them. You'll begin your day with a crash course in payroll's legal basics. Find out what areas fall under state, federal and joint regulation and learn how to avoid the often staggering penalties and fines of non-compliance.
In one intensive day of training, we'll cover today's most challenging payroll management issues including:
  • The latest regulation changes that impact how you process payroll
  • The red flags auditors look for in your payroll procedures
  • The ins and outs of new hire reporting — what's changed now?
  • Fringe benefits, bonuses, commissions back-pay — what's taxable today?
  • How to handle the sticky legalities of payment on termination
  • Your state law says one thing and the federal government says another — now what?
  • Ways to side-step the most common pitfalls of Wage and Hour laws
  • And much more!
With this payroll management training, you'll know which forms to use when and, most important, how to keep your company out of hot water with the DOL and state agencies. It's their job to catch you in a mistake. Together, we'll make sure that doesn't happen.
