Get up to speed on the most significant Alabama employment law and labor issues.
The application of the law is constantly changing, whether through legislative action, judicial decisions, or administrative agency interpretations. Sensational media stories can also drive increased filings of lawsuits. All of these actions may require adjustment to Human Resources policies and practices. This topic will help you respond to and get out in front of the national discussions on sexual harassment, sexual orientation issues, and the fast-growing field of disability litigation. It will also keep you abreast of administrative agency developments at the EEOC, DOL, and NLRB.
