EMPLOYMENT LAW WORKSHOP - presented by a panel of local employment law attorneys:

• Jeff Fairchild practices locally with Adelstein, Sharpe and Serka and represents employers on a wide range of employment issues.
• Deborra Garrett, a partner with Zender Thurston,  works closely with the HR staff of many local companies and public agencies.
• Marie Gallagher is an attorney with Adelstein, Sharpe and Serka practicing employment law and serves as a Mt. Baker SHRM board member.

Laws governing the workplace are complex. Every year, new regulations are enacted, at both the federal and state levels. HR professionals are charged with keeping current with these ever-changing legal obligations. In response to member requests, the Mt. Baker Chapter of SHRM is offering a half-day workshop covering the most urgent employment law challenges facing HR professionals today:

• Everything You Wanted to Know about the Fair Labor Standards Act and Were Afraid to Ask
• Managing Attendance— The Family and Medical Leave Act and its Washington Equivalent
• Avoiding Claims of Discrimination, Harassment and Retaliation

PLUS - Ask The Experts: our distinguished panel of employment lawyers will answer YOUR questions on the employment law topic of most concern to YOU.
