On Wednesday, February 15, 2017, Kara Maciel, Chair of the Labor & Employment Practice at Conn Maciel Carey, will be presenting a free webinar on issues facing small business.

While large companies typically have human resources departments or in-house counsel to advise on myriad and complex employment laws, start-ups and small businesses are often operating in the dark regarding these key issues.  However, as these companies grow and begin to hire more employees, compliance with local, state, and federal employment laws are paramount for survival.

This webinar will provide an overview of the most important employment laws, policies and practices that are of particular concern for small businesses and start-ups so that they can comply with proper pay practices and wage and hour law, become aware of applicable anti-discrimination laws, and learn proper procedures for hiring and firing, including offer letters, employment agreements and separation agreements.

The webinar begins at 1:00 pm ET, and is sponsored by Smith College.  You can register for the webinar here.  If you are unable to attend the February webinar, Conn Maciel Carey will present another opportunity on April 19, 2017 as part of its 2017 Labor & Employment Webinar Series, and you can register here.
