    Employment laws are complicated.  A manager or supervisor’s mistake can result in costly employee lawsuits and liability for the company. This seminar focuses on the issues that are most likely to get an employer into trouble. Designed to give a big picture review in a short amount of time, this seminar will help avoid the many traps, potholes and land mines of employment law.
