What Every Nonprofit Manager Needs to Know To Stay Out of Trouble!

Employment law covers all rights and obligations within the employer-employee relationship -- between employers and current employees, job applicants, or former employees. Because of the complexity of employment relationships and the wide variety of situations that can arise, employment law involves legal issues as diverse as discrimination, wrongful termination, wages and taxation, and workplace safety. Many of these issues are governed by applicable federal and state law. But, where the employment relationship is based on a valid contract entered into by the employer and the employee, state contract law alone may dictate the rights and duties of the parties.
This webinar will go over the “highlights” of what every nonprofit manager needs to know, such as:
- Employment law concepts
- Employment at will: Do you really know what this means? Why should you care?
- Federal statutes: What is a federal statue? What every nonprofit manager needs to know
- Workers' compensation and unemployment insurance: Are you sure you’re covered?
- FLSA: Why do you need to know this?
