Employee Handbook 2022 Update. Includes Updated Federal, State and Local Regulations as well as Multi-State Regulations

Keeping up with workplace laws is hard enough for a company with more than 20 employees in one state, and much harder with locations across several states or countries. This 90-minute multi-state employee handbook webinar helps you identify the regulations that apply and reflect them in your policies.

Workplace laws affect staffing, hiring, compensation, background screening, leave, performance, social media, termination and discrimination. You'll look at which multi-state rules affect employers most, which new laws changed the landscape, and whether to write separate policies or one handbook.

Topics include applications, background checks, overtime, salary history bans, paid leave, pay equity, minimum wage, classification, drug testing, immigration, retaliation and EEOC pay data reporting.

• Identify the state-specific and multi-state regulations that apply to your organization
• Recognize which new laws affect employers most
• Decide whether to use separate policies or one employee handbook
• Create policies that reduce risk under new regulations
• Communicate multi-state rules effectively to employees
