Employee & Supervisor Training

Many labor and employment administrative and court proceedings could have been avoided had an employer's managers, supervisors and employees been educated regarding compliance with employment laws, regulations and best practices. It is not enough that Human Resources knows the law -- many lawsuits can be traced to mistakes made by first-line supervisors interacting with the workforce.  At MacDonald Illig, our first goal is to assist our clients to avoid time-consuming, disruptive and costly litigation. Ever-changing laws and regulations and rapidly evolving societal dynamics impact the workplace and require employers, upper management, supervisors and non-supervisory employees to be aware of their legal obligations, to adapt to the changing norms in human interaction in the workplace and to implement best practices and procedures. In many states, sexual harassment training for managers and employees now is mandatory, and this trend is likely to continue.

MacDonald Illig's labor and employment attorneys are equipped to provide our employer clients, large and small, with management, supervisor and employee training in a wide array of employment and human resources compliance and best practices including:

• sexual, gender, religious and other forms of harassment avoidance training
• EEO compliance and fair employment practices
• managing paid and unpaid leave and other forms of time off
• diversity and affirmative action
• wage and hour compliance
• personnel policies, handbooks and forms
• avoiding disability discrimination claims and accommodation issues
• employee performance, discipline and terminations
• privacy, social media and technology in the workplace
• drug testing
• Employment practices and procedures audits
