DIVERSITY LEGAL REQUIREMENTS: KNOW YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS & DUTIES
ONLINE
DIVERSITY LEGAL REQUIREMENTS: KNOW YOUR RIGHTS & DUTIES Regularly, every employee confronts employment law regulations from discrimination/harassment regulations, designating an employee versus an independent contractor, and handling employment contracts such as noncompete 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.
