Employers, do you know:

• The difference between an employee and a contractor, and why it matters?

• What to expect when you fire an employee?

• How to protect yourself and your company from greivances and lawsuits brought by unhappy employees?

• That your pay practices must comply with state and federal law?

Melissa McDuffy, an associate attorney at the law firm of Crowe & Dunlevy, will present practical advice every employer should know about these topics. Melissa is a member of the Labor & Employment and Litigation & Trial Practice Groups who often presents on these as well as other topics including the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act and workers' compensation. This is your chance to ask questions and to learn before you are ambushed by issues you knew nothing about.

This workshop is one of a series of workshops intended to keep small business owners informed on a wide variety of important subjects. Seating is limited to 19 people. Register NOW before the workshop fills up. Lunch is included.
