We know you’re busy and wear many hats on a daily basis… Take some time to network with peers facing similar challenges as you. Move your organization forward by staying ahead of the curve. This free workshop is designed for HR professionals who are in the trenches of a non-profit each day. Our goal is to help you understand what HR trends affect your organization. Walk away with actionable insights on fair labor standards, including minimum wage and overtime. Learn about the benefits and practices not covered by FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act), such as weekend pay and wage and hour violations. Having difficulties understanding the difference between exempt and nonexempt status under FLSA? We’ve got you covered.
After this workshop, your organization will be on track to:
- Reduce your risk of being held liable in employee management situations
- Create a workplace environment that treats employees both fairly and legally
- Develop or enhance your employee handbook
