About This Course

The dual and sometimes contradictory roles played by in-house counsels can result in a variety of challenges, particularly with respect to employment law. An attorney who serves as both a legal counselor and a businessman may feel torn between conflicting priorities. This CLE course will explain the fundamentals of employment law specifically for in-house counsel but also relevant to executives, CEO’s and COO’s with human resource responsibilities. The course will explore practical solutions for a host of issues including discrimination and harassment liability, managing employee complaints, liability over employee use of social media and workplace investigations. The course will discuss obligations including those related to overtime, disability, medical leaves of absence and health issues. The course will explain strategies for managing risks associated with employee or independent contractor classification, wage claim exposure and overtime.
