Tax & Legal Update for Payroll and HR

The employment relationship is a symbiotic relationship between company and employee with each side needing something from the other beyond financial benefit. Employees and companies expect mutual honesty, candor, respect and caring in the employment relationship. The failure to promote such ethical principals in the workplace can lead to disengagement, poor productivity, distrust of management, poor retention of good employees, and ultimately hinder the financial performance of the company or subject the company to increased reputational risk. This topic helps management understand, prepare for, and avoid the potential ethical pitfalls that arise in the employment relationship. The material also explains pitfalls related to legal representation in employment matters, whether from an in-house or outside counsel perspective. The discussion will focus on identifying situations where ethical concerns typically arise and how to manage those situations.

Protect your company from losing employees to competitors by enforcing a compliant noncompete policy that adheres to your state's laws. Noncompete agreements are getting more attention than ever, in state legislatures, courts, and mainstream media. What does this mean for your company?

Effectively using noncompetes requires knowledge of your and other states' laws, and good decisions both in the design and enforcement of the noncompetes. This topic will give you the tools to start effectively using noncompetes or, if you already are, to improve your company's program.
