OUTLINE

Expand All
Employee or Independent Contractor?

Are all workers employees? In this lesson, you'll learn to recognize the
difference between an employee and an independent contractor. This will enable
you to properly classify workers so you can withhold taxes and provide benefits
for true employees. You'll take a look at a real court case to see how courts
decide if someone is properly classified.

Employment Benefits

Do you wish you could retire to the beach with solid employment benefits, such
as health insurance, retirement, sick leave, and vacation leave in place? In
this lesson, you'll look at the legal requirements relating to employment
benefits. You may be surprised to learn what the law does and doesn't require!
The lesson will also talk about the reasons companies provide benefits for their
employees.

Hiring Practices

Do you ever find yourself stuck with employees who aren't producing? This lesson
will focus on ways to screen applicants for employment to keep poor employees
out and find a good match between the job and skill level of an applicant. As
the saying goes, it's better to have strong hiring practices than to deal with a
problem employee later on.

Evaluating Employees

Ever wonder what to do with your employees and how to keep them effectively
producing? This lesson will focus on evaluation, discipline, and termination
processes. You'll learn how to tackle these tough issues without violating any
laws in the process.

Employment Disputes

If you ever have to deal with upset people at work (employee outbursts, customer
complaints, or vendor concerns) then this lesson is for you! This lesson will
show you some dispute resolution tools that will help you turn conflicts into
win-win situations.

View All Sections
Employment Disputes in Court

Do you ever wonder what happens behind courthouse doors? This lesson will talk
about the litigation process from start to finish so that you'll know what to
expect if you someday find yourself in court. It will also go over legal
jargon—words like depositions and interrogatories—so that you really understand
the words lawyers commonly use.

Discrimination and Title VII

While discrimination should be a thing of the past, prejudice still pops up in
the workplace. This lesson will talk about how to comply with Title VII law,
which prohibits discrimination at work. The examples and strategies discussed
here will make this law easy to understand.

More Discrimination Laws

Has anyone ever requested a special accommodation from you? This lesson will
explore what the laws are about this issue. You'll find out what your duty is
regarding accommodation and learn to analyze your workplace to determine whether
it's compliant.

Labor Unions

Suppose there's labor talk whispered in the halls of your workplace. What do you
do? This lesson will discuss the legal rights of unions to organize. You'll also
consider unfair labor practices that both unions and management need to watch
out for.

Labor Negotiations

Collective bargaining, grievance and appeal, strikes—what do these things have
in common? They're all processes that can occur in a union environment. This
lesson will talk about how to prepare for and handle union bargaining and
appeals.

Workplace Safety

What are your obligations when it comes to keeping employees safe on the job?
This lesson will focus on employee safety and reporting. You'll get Internet
resources where you can look up specifics about your particular work
environment.

Legal Compliance

Legal compliance requires an entire corporate strategy. The final lesson will
focus on tools, tactics, and resources you can use to create an environment of
compliance in your workplace.

An excellent teacher and a very interesting course!!! I really liked the little
graphics which were placed within each lesson. The lessons were written so that
the lay person could understand.

I am fairly new in the HR field. This course was very helpful and informative.

I enjoyed learning more about the topics in this course. The examples made the
topic more understandable. The instructor's writing style and organization of
the lessons were helpful. I feel prepared to hire my first employee and monitor
my business to reduce liability and know what is required of me. Thanks.

I had very limited knowledge of employment law. This course was full of valuable
information written in a manner a layperson would understand. I liked the
examples given.

I have been at my first supervisor role for a year now, and this course has been
very beneficial to my career and future success. Thank you!

I learned a lot from this course, and will implement what I've learned. I feel
more confident in knowing that I know where to look for answers about employment
law. I bookmarked all the websites that were posted.

I really enjoyed learning about Employment Law. The instructor made the class
interesting, challenging and fun! I would strongly recommend it!

I've been in business on my own for 20 years. There was a lot of great
information and web links supplied that really helped me to revise and update
our own employment manuals. The short stories of real cases also helped me to
understand more technical issues from a better perspective. This course did
teach an old dog new tricks!

I've been in HR for a number of years and felt that a "refresher" would be
helpful. I found this course to be helpful in updating current employment
practices.

The course covered very useful information. Great in depth knowledge. Anyone
working in the HR and/or legal field should take this course.

This class was well worth the time and money spent. I would recommend this class
to ANYONE whether in management or not, if they have questions about the actions
of their employer, or what their rights are as an employee.

This course should be mandatory for every employee. I learned so much new
information. After completing one lesson, I could hardly wait for the next
lesson to start.
