The Employment Law Webinar Series
SAN FRANCISCO -- Lynn Lieber, attorney and CEO of WorkplaceAnswers.com, and Allison West, attorney and in-demand HR trainer, will be presenting "
The High Cost of Getting Even: Understanding and Preventing Retaliation Claims," an informative and timely employment law webinar for Human Resources professionals on October 5th from 11 am to 12 noon PDT.
Retaliation claims are some of the riskiest and most expensive claims in the workplace. According to the EEOC, retaliation claims have doubled in the last ten years. The reasons should scare employers: retaliation claims are relatively easy to make – and prove – because the employee never has to show they suffered any harassment or discrimination. Not scared yet? Don’t forget back in 2006 the U.S. Supreme Court greatly expanded the definition and scope of retaliation claims. But, they didn’t stop there. Recently, the High Court gave employees new avenues to bring these claims. This session will provide you with critical updates on retaliation law and give you valuable tips and tools to prevent these costly claims.
This free, 75 minute webinar will highlight:
- Recent changes in the law that make it easier for employees to claim retaliation
- The types of protected activities that can trigger protection under retaliation laws
- Who is protected under the law
- How to manage your workforce and the complaining party after a complaint has been filed
- How to protect your company from claims
- What your policies and training should include
- Proactive tips and tools to avoid liability
The webinar will be held on Tuesday October 5 at 11:00 am PDT. The cost is free for HR professionals and attorneys. Register now!
