Join Verrill for the November session of our 2022 virtual Labor & Employment Annual Update Series, with attorneys Tawny Alvarez and Emily Waddell. It’s work party time. As we enter the fourth quarter of the calendar year many HR departments are likely discussing end of the year or holiday parties.You know, that time of year where we kick off our shoes, drink a glass of eggnog and try to prepare for the arrival of the new year. Whether you are excited to join your colleagues in holiday festivities or are dreading wearing your happy face and ugly sweater there are some things that all Human Resources professionals should be mindful of when the put their party-planning hat on. In this session, Tawny and Emily will discuss how to minimize risks related to holiday party gatherings. It may seem like you can’t have fun and let your hair down without asking for an employment claim, but there are a multitude of steps and precautions that can be taken to minimize allegations of claims of violation of wage and hour laws, harassment, discrimination, and workers’ compensation injuries following a festive event.

RSVP online here.
