Synopsis:

Every year, hundreds of employment laws are added or changed at both the federal and state levels. As an employer, you must be 100 percent compliant with all of these laws 100 percent of the time to avoid penalties, fees and vulnerabilities when you let someone go. But unless you’re an HR expert or an attorney, staying current and getting everything right isn’t just hard, it’s impossible.

During this eye-opening HR training course, Paul Edwards will unmask the most common employment policy mistakes many dental practices inadvertently make. You will learn which policies you can’t afford to guess at or borrow from someone else, which ones you’re missing and desperately need, and what you must do to protect yourself and your practice. You’ll also learn the 10 best tips for identifying and hiring the best team for your practice. Don’t become a victim of your own policies and the “devilish” details they hide!

You will develop an advanced understanding of HR and employment laws as they apply to you and your staff, discover which 10 “deadly” policy mistakes are probably already in your employee handbook, learn how hiring better will solve 90 percent of the issues you’ll face as an employer, and identify steps to protect yourself and your practice from frivolous and expensive employment lawsuits. Recorded Live at Townie Meeting 2014!
