Numerous laws address the ins and outs of employment.
Some employers might need to brush up on those laws, and all new employers should become familiar with them. Commissioner Ron Lehman, who represents employers on the Texas Workforce Commission, offers the perfect opportunity for anyone seeking a better grasp of laws that govern employers. Workshop presenters will discuss such topics as workers' compensation, firing, unemployment insurance, wage and hour issues, employee handbooks for the new millennium and more. Invitations have been mailed to many businesses in the area, but anyone who has not received one is welcome to attend. Friday, Dec. 8, at the Moody Gardens Hotel in Galveston.
