Unique Challenges for Public Employers
Originally Held: Thursday, October 11, 2018
Time: Noon to 1:15 p.m.
Cost: Complimentary
Presented by Audrey J. Forbush, Ridley S. Nimmo and Laura M. Dinon
Webinar Overview:
With the speed of today’s 24/7 news cycle, public employers are tasked with effectively responding to a dizzying number of issues unique to them and claims brought by their employees.
That’s why we literally ripped some of these stories from recent headlines to formulate a webinar designed to help public employers stay ahead of such issues as retaliation claims, employee opioid addiction, guns in the workplace and more.
Hosted by the members of Plunkett Cooney’s Labor & Employment Law Practice Group, this complimentary webinar explored the protections public employers do and do not have under the Constitution to effectively and legally manage their workforce.
Intended Audience:
This webinar was designed to benefit executives and human resources professionals in the public sector.
