The recruitment and hiring process is an exciting time for employers and employees alike. It is also one fraught with legal landmines that can adversely impact employers, sometimes before the employment relationship starts and, in some cases, well after it ends.

While employers seek to find the best talent, a seemingly conflicting array of federal and state laws force them to walk a legal tightrope between "not doing enough" and "going too far.” This program will navigate these issues, including the "do's," the "don'ts" and the best practices for maximizing your hiring process while minimizing legal exposure.

Topics:

  • Legal and practical considerations for pre-employment skills and drug testing
  • Risks and compliance issues related to background checks
  • Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) compliance
  • Best practices for pre-employment inquiries
