The activity-oriented format allows participants to practice skills during the seminar so they can discover how to best use what they are learning. This course will address laws and regulations governing discrimination, hiring practices, safety, labor relations, unemployment and workers' compensation, drug testing, in-house personnel investigations, and the development of standards in the areas of fairness, due process and termination.
