In our downward economy, businesses are seeing an increase in lawsuits and state and federal agencies are receiving more discrimination and harassment claims than prior years. Combine this with Massachusetts treble damages for wage and hour infractions, and businesses can find themselves in legal hot water facing steep fines, penalties and attorney’s fees. This interactive session will provide awareness on the human resource related areas that can create legal problems for businesses as well as recommendations for organizations to avoid these concerns.

Attendees Will Learn:

• Top reasons why employers are being sued

• Current "hot spots" in Massachusetts Against Discrimination (MCAD) claims

• HR safeguards to assist organizations

• Practices and Policies All Organizations Must Have
