About This Course

Everyone understands that there is a great deal of complexity to today’s employment law, but one would think that by comparison, the hiring of students, interns and volunteers would be relatively simple. That is definitely not the case. Great care must be taken to avoid potential legal ramifications of enlisting underage as well non-standard employees. This CLE course will offer a detailed explanation of what constitutes a minor, intern and volunteer, the various age brackets which affect the legalities of hiring minors, strategies for interviews and the potential for violating child labor laws. The course will explain how to navigate the tricky tasks of hiring, firing and record-keeping in accordance with current statutes.
