Why Should you Attend

This webinar is a must-attend for HR people and managers trying to avoid lawsuits and for employees who think their employer may have violated the law. Plus, it´s a chance to get the perspective of an employee-side employment lawyer and find out how they evaluate potential cases.

Seminar Summary:

Are employers allowed to monitor employee social media? When does firing an employee for their postings regarding politics, working conditions and other issues cross the line? What if an employee posts something that indicates they have a propensity to discriminate against coworkers? Oops - I looked at an employee's Facebook page and discovered they have a disability (or are pregnant, or some other protected category) - now what? These are questions many employers face in this age of Twitter, Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram and other social media. This webinar addresses the legal issues involving employee speech in and outside of the workplace, and the legal ramifications for employers if they fire or discipline employees based on their speech. You'll learn how an employee-side employment lawyer looks at and evaluates these issues. (see full course description)
