Savannah seminar will focus on labor and employment law record keeping

November 13, 2006

Uncle Sam wants you to maintain a paper trail as proof that your business is following federal labor and employment laws.

Human resources and business managers in firms of all sizes are required to keep records throughout each staff member’s employment  and even before their hiring and after their departure.

Labor law attorney Wade Herring will cover the why’s, the how’s, and the how-long’s of proper employee documentation during a Legal Awareness in the Workplace (LAW) seminar at the Coastal Georgia Center in Savannah.

The ‘Federal Labor and Employment Law Record Keeping” seminar will be held on Thursday, Dec. 14, from 6 p.m. until 7:30 p.m.

Offered by Georgia Southern University’s Continuing Education Center, the seminar will address legal requirements and best practices related to federally required record keeping. Herring is an attorney from the employment law firm of Hunter, Maclean, Exley and Dunn, P.C.

Future LAW seminars will include ‘Best Practices in Running Background and Reference Checks” in January, ‘Immigration Compliance Issues for Businesses” in February, and ‘Coordinating the Triad of FMLA, ADA and Worker’s Compensation” in March.

The fee for each seminar is $69 per person. The fee will be reduced to $59 for any person who registers for three or more seminars, or for three or more people from the same firm.
