Workplace EEO Investigator Training February 25 to 28, 2019

2/21/2019

 
Sooner or later, every organization receives a complaint of workplace discrimination, harassment, or retaliation.  It may be an internal complaint from a current employee who feels her supervisor is sexually harassing her.  It may be a charge of discrimination from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed by an unsuccessful job applicant who claims he was wrongfully denied employment because of his race.  It may be a federal lawsuit brought by an employee who claims he was discharged in retaliation for opposing disability discrimination.  When this happens, it is imperative that the employer investigate the complaint.  Such an investigation, however, must be conducted properly, because an improper investigation can hinder the handling and defense of claims and can lead to legal liability even if the complaint being investigated was unfounded.  Conducting an appropriate EEO investigation is a skill which requires knowledge and training.
 
Amediate LLC is a provider of human resource management services, including training in conducting workplace EEO investigations.  Its next program will be conducted February 25 to 28, 2019, in Norfolk, Virginia.  The presenters at that program will include labor and employment law attorney Ray Hogge and EEOC investigator Michael Johnson.  The program meets the 32-hour initial investigator training requirement, and the 8-hour continuing investigator training requirement, under EEOC Management Directive 110.  To find out more about the program or to register, click here or contact Amediate LLC.

Fundamentals of Executive Compensation live webinar January 22, 2019

1/21/2019

 
Because executives are in high demand, organizations must offer them attractive compensation packages.  Salary is important, but is only one of many forms of compensation executives typically are offered.  Some other forms of compensation can be straightforward, but others can be complex and involve important legal and tax considerations.  It is imperative that the executive hiring authority in any organization, as well as the executive, understand the fundamentals of executive compensation, since executives typically are employed under written employment contracts and compensation plans which must correctly reflect the compensation being provided to the executive. 

Lorman Education Services will present a live webinar, Fundamentals of Executive Compensation, on January 22, 2019 at 1:00 PM (Eastern Time), which will provide an introduction to important issues in the design and administration of executive employment compensation agreements and plans, to enable organizations and executives to navigate the complex world of executive compensation.  Ray Hogge will be the instructor.  The webinar is designed for human resource managers, payroll professionals, benefits administrators, business owners and managers, CFOs and controllers, and attorneys. To register for the webinar, visit the Lorman Education Services website at www.lorman.com, or click here to go to the webinar page.
