Overview
Many employers do not appreciate the many legal risks inherent in the hiring process. However, from the application through the on-boarding process, there are potential legal pitfalls at every turn.  PLUS newly enacted city, state and federal laws have only complicated the matter.

Join us for an in-depth CLE seminar, as we discuss new court decisions and statutes in this area and offer practical advice for hiring efficiently and without risk. Among other topics, you will learn:

  • Appropriate inquiries for applicants pre- and post-offer
  • Permissible and impermissible uses of background checks including criminal record and credit history checks
  • The use of social media in hiring
  • Conducting legal medical and psychological exams of applicants
  • Requirements to accommodate disabled candidates
