On-Demand Employment Law 101 for Supervisors: Performance Management & Hiring (10-9-24 Webinar Recording)

Have your supervisory employees attend this live webinar to learn critical legal information that all supervisors need to know about managing employee performance, and hiring. This presentation reviews:

• Do’s and don’ts for performance reviews, and performance improvement plans (a model performance improvement plan template will be provided).

• What to do when employee medical problems affect job performance, including reasonable accommodation and leave requirements.

• Common mistakes with performance management, and how they can increase the risk of legal claims for “wrongful termination."

• How to handle termination meetings.

• What a supervisor should or should not say about an employee who was terminated, including internally with other employees, or in response to reference inquiries or requests.

• Hiring Interviews: Contrasting appropriate versus inappropriate "off limits" questions/comments during an interview, and lawful versus unlawful hiring criteria.

• What to do if a new hire does not have the expected or necessary skill set, or you need to revoke an offer.

• Managing special legal sensitivities when hiring a competitor's employee.
