From Hiring To Firing: What Every Employer Needs To Know To Reduce Risk

Jan. 18, 2010 - PRLog -- FMLA, ADA, ADEA, GINA and USERRA.  Learn how to avoid liability under each of these statutes. Find out how each of these laws interacts with the others to ensure that your company is in full compliance and adequately protected. Most employers do not know that in many states the state employment discrimination laws apply to employers with small numbers of employees such as 4 or more employees. In addition, USERRA applies to employers with one or more employees and the ADA applies to employers with 15 or more employees.  Yet small employers do not understand their legal obligations with regard to these laws and are not prepared for the financial burdens of employment discrimination litigation. Learn how to protect your company and yourself (managers can be held personally liable under most state fair employment laws, for example under New York State’s Human Rights Law). This employment law seminar will review the life cycle of employment from hiring to firing and review the impact that each of the employment discrimination laws has on each phase of employment.
