The Employment Law Training Series consists of monthly trainings on designated employment laws relevant to managers at BYU-Idaho. It is designed to target all employees who have any degree of supervision over others. PowerPoint presentations of employment law trainings are available via these links. Where possible, however, Human Resources strongly advises that employees attend an upcoming live training of these topics over merely reviewing the PowerPoints.
This particular law is one of the most impactful pieces of legislation in regard to equal treatment of all people in the workplace. It protects against multiple types of discrimination. Supervisors in particular will find the content relevant to their roles. If you supervise student employees or have interest in future leadership opportunities, then you are encouraged to attend this training.
Historical background information along with current case law will be presented. We will also focus discussion on its relevance to BYU-Idaho including certain policies and employment actions commonly faced in leadership roles. This training is part of an employment law training series currently underway for management. All employees interested are also encouraged to attend.
Title VII Power Point
Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) - Part 1
The FLSA is a landmark law in the Nation's social and economic development. Initially established in 1938 to recover from effects of the Great Depression and decades of repressive employment practices, this law has undergone multiple and significant updates over the years to keep up with the changing workplace conditions. But has it kept up? Many argue that there are multiple aspects of this law that seem too rigid for today's workplace. We'll discuss these topics.
In addition, the FLSA is the prominent wage-hour law with deep connections to Internal Revenue Code, defines minimum wage and overtime requirements, establishes work-hour reporting requirements along with so many other topics applicable to compensation and related matters, including contract pay, comp time, travel time, salaried vs. hourly pay, etc. Of particular interest will be those conditions in which individuals are exempt from certain aspects of the law.
This training will address differences between administrative and staff employees, specific exemption categories, common BYU-Idaho practices that are direct violations of this law, how to determine a volunteer from an employee, and many other subjects.
FLSA prt. 1 Power Point
Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) - Part 2
This training builds on Part 1. It is recommend though not required that you attend a training on Part 1 before this training. Specific topics covered in Part 2 include:
FLSA prt. 2 Power Point
Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) - Part 3
This training is the third of three trainings dealing with the FLSA. This training focuses on exemptions to the FLSA. Specific topics include:
Why should you attend? To be more informed and aware of issues you may face that pertain to this law, so that you can seek proper counsel in the decision-making process. Also, so that you can better understand the reasons for certain decisions and the processes employed in making these decisions.
FLSA prt. 3 Power Point
Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)/Long-term Disability (LTD)
The FMLA protects both the employee and employer in cases where medical or family issues are conflicting with one's work obligations. But when does FMLA apply and under what circumstances? And how do managers navigate work requirements when their employees claim conflicting illness or family priorities? Numerous legal landmines surround this law, particularly in regard to how managers respond to FMLA leaves before, during and after such leaves.
This discussion will include long-term disability and some reference to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which merits its own discussion at a future date. All employees are encouraged to attend this training as both the FMLA and LTD benefits could at some point apply to their personal lives and professional stewardships. This training is part of an employment law training series currently underway for management. All employees interested are also encouraged to attend.
FMLA Power Point
FMLA Employee Accomodation
BYU-Idaho currently employs around 3,500 students each semester. This number continues to increase. There are more student employees on campus than all other employees combined. Students fill numerous roles - typical student jobs, internships, volunteers, practicums. Some students have multiple roles and work for multiple departments simultaneously. Employment laws and IRS regulations apply in some cases and not in others. Indeed, the student employment arena is quite diverse and can get rather complex given the varied circumstances.
Human Resources in conjunction with the Payroll and International Services departments will provide you with tools to assist in every phase of the employment cycle for student employees. You'll leave this training more aware of pertinent employment laws and IRS regulations, why things should be done in a particular order, relevant policies and their application, and common areas of non-compliance evidenced every pay period. You'll also walk away with tools for recruiting students, managing varied work schedules and handling escalating personnel issues. You will also gain perspective from colleagues on how to improve the quality of the student experience in your work areas with a collective interest in building student employment models across campus. This training will cover questions such as:
