Multistate Handbooks: Multitasking Policies Effectively

Recorded Session
90 Minutes

Every employer with staff in more than one state faces a mix of state laws, federal mandates and legal conflicts. This 90-minute multistate employee handbook webinar explains how to develop and maintain a high-quality handbook that works across jurisdictions.

You'll review common federal issues in handbook drafting, including NLRB, EEOC and PPACA concerns, and common state issues around disability, pregnancy and leave.

The session also covers best practices for resolving conflicting state laws, navigating federal versus state standards, and deciding when to adopt a general policy versus a state-specific one.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

A strong, direct employee handbook is an employer's first line of defense and a go-to guide for workplace issues, while a poor one can undermine the workplace. Multistate employers need a handbook that stays accurate and dependable across every state where they operate.

The session suits HR directors, business directors and company officers involved in employee relations or human resources.
