CAMARILLO — Employment law firm LightGabler LLP is presenting a free employment law webinar for employers, “Handbook Time: Retooling Your Employee Handbook for 2024.” The webinar is Tuesday, February 27 from 10:30 a.m. to noon.
A critical “to-do” for every California employer in 2024 is retooling their employee handbook to create a legally compliant and strategically written document. A retooled handbook is one of the greatest sources of protection against employee lawsuits. It is a fountain of information for supervisors on how to properly interact with subordinate employees, and helps meet the employer’s obligations to provide notices and information to employees
Most business owners have heard of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), mediation and arbitration, but may not know what they mean and how you can use them in a dispute. Their effective use can minimize litigation costs and protect assets. By understanding ADR options and thinking strategically before a conflict or lawsuit arises, businesses can avoid employee disputes or limit the scope of existing disputes.
Most employers and human resources professionals know that keeping regular documentation in the workplace is critical to the employer’s protection. More important than just keeping documentation, however, is keeping the right documentation. The words used (or not used) in every employee communication can significantly help or hurt the employer’s position.
