liability? Can you defend your actions— or those
of your employees — if you do end up in court?
Staying out of trouble is a matter of
being prepared. And that's exactly what you’ll learn
in Fair, Square, and Legal — clear, unambiguous,
step-by-step methods of documentation, compliance,
and prevention for every business-related action that
can raise legal liability.
Written by a manager for managers, the
course translates complex legal concepts and precedents
into a set of easy-to-learn guidelines for managing
people. It gives you a systematic knowledge of the
ways the laws governing equal opportunity and employee
rights protect not only your employees, but you, the
manager, as well. You’ll see that understanding and
adhering to employment law is simply good business.
You’ll learn how to
