Program 2 - MC-SHRM General Meeting
11:45*AM-1:00PM (*Registration 11:45AM-11:50AM)
Presented by: Joseph G. (Chip) Galagaza, & Kelly S. Sullivan
- Senior Counsel, Stibbs & Co., P.C.
While far from the most interesting or the most challenging part of a human resource professional’s job, taking the time to review, update, and revise as necessary a company’s handbook, employment policies and procedures, and yes, even the forms it uses, is a critical function of the position. Judges, juries, and administrative agencies expect it - to them, there is not a reason or an excuse that is acceptable for not having these fundamentals of HR up-to-date.
So, no time like the Spring to get out the broom!
Participant Learning Objectives:
- Assess why undertaking a regular handbook, policies and procedures, and employment form review is important
- Consider creating a checklist of what to review
- Identify free resources to assist
- Examine recent employment law developments that deserve attention
