Basics in Employment Law

This course is designed to teach non-HR professionals the fundamentals of federal and state employment laws that they are impacted by and must be aware of when conducting day-day business. This will be taught on a fairly basic level for supervisors and managers to be able to understand these laws so that they are conscious of these laws when making decisions dealing with current and new employees.
