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.

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.
