$375.00
Description
Regularly, every employee confronts employment law regulations from discrimination/harassment regulations, designating an employee versus an independent contractor, and handling employment contracts such as non-compete agreements. The law may apply from an employee asserting their legal rights or from a manager’s perspective, as they are tasked with drafting employee procedures, handling employee complaints, supervising employees, hiring employees, or possibly terminating other employees. Without knowledge of the relevant laws and regulations, employees unintentionally put their companies at legal risk.
Specifically, this section includes a review of anti-discrimination laws, harassment legal prevention, affirmative action plans, hiring and termination policies, employee policy recommendations, non-compete/no-solicitation agreements, confidentiality agreements, and employee versus independent contract designations.
Finally, throughout this course, we will focus on the history of diversity employment laws. By understanding the legal history of diversity laws, an employee learns the reasoning behind such regulations to prevent systematic discrimination.

“As someone who seriously considered attending law school, I genuinely enjoyed the course content! I especially appreciated the knowledge checks as the short quizzes required I think about the content in a practical, applicable manner. We covered so many topics and themes in this course that I’ll have to spend some time unpacking it all. I really enjoyed learning about the different court cases and the resulting decisions.”
