OD Works! Auditing Your Employee Handbook and Workplace Policies

Get off to a good start this year by updating your employee handbook and workplace policies to comply with an everchanging legal landscape. Bring them with you as we engage in an interactive panel discussion with practical guidance and recommendations for employers drafting and revising their policies to keep pace with recent government rulings and guidance. Policies on electronic communications, social media, confidentiality, employee conduct, dress codes, photographs, and recordings—to name only a few—may be setting employers up for NLRB scrutiny and litigation instead of providing protection. Likewise, EEO policies may need to be expanded to include new protected classifications. OSHA has also entered the arena by taking a stance on workplace violence, drug testing, and safety policies. And medical marijuana is here in Florida. The time is now to ensure compliance in 2017.
