Manager's Training Module

Overtime pay. Discrimination. Family leave. Harassment … Federal employment laws govern all of these issues—and many more—that all managers will have to deal with at some point in their careers. It’s important for supervisors and managers to know the basics of how to comply with those laws.
This training covers the top 10 most important issues addressed by federal employment laws that managers must understand. It also addresses the implications of those laws for managers. It reinforces the need for management to work closely with HR on several issues, especially when it comes to complying with the FMLA, the ADA and pregnancy-related situations.

The National Labor Relations Act worker protections include strict rules requiring all private-sector employers with two or more workers to allow workers to engage in “concerted activity.” There are strict limits to what supervisors can do to interfere with these rights, and this training will help your managers understand their obligations.

At some points, this presentation refers to hypothetical policies that may not exactly match your organization’s. Please substitute language that matches how you operate. It also assumes you have revisited your policies to remove portions forbidden by the NLRA. If you have not, please do so.
