Life Cycle of the Employee and Development of a Handbook Tailored to an Organization
Presented by: Atty. Michael Foley, Foley and Foley PC
The CCHRA General Counsel, Attorney Michael Foley, will provide a highly interactive explanation of a holistic approach to Employment Law compliance and HR-related risk management within the entire life cycle of the employment relationship:
Mike will test our understanding of both Massachusetts and Federal employment laws. For example, do you know the answer to these true or false questions:
Job descriptions are not required by law and are overrated.
If an employee has a “Manager” title and is paid on a salary basis he or she can be considered exempt from overtime.
If a worker is free from the employer’s control and can use his/her discretion in performing services both under a contract and in fact, then he/she can be retained as an independent contractor and not an employee.
In Massachusetts, employers satisfy their obligation to prohibit sexual harassment by posting their sexual harassment policy for all to see.
The Commonwealth’s Criminal Offender Record Information Law prohibits employers from inquiring about criminal records during the applicant screening process.
He will outline best practices for developing a strategic approach to effective risk management.
Mike will also provide compliance tools and resource information. Here is a link to the 2020 Synopsis of Massachusetts and Federal Employment Law and Workplace Regulations. This is a very valuable and popular resource that will help your team meet your organization’s compliance obligations and will prepare you for Mike’s interactive presentation.
