Legal Briefs Series

Supreme Series of Employment Law

The Legal Briefs Supreme Series is the most unique, practical, easy-to-use, employment law training available today.
Why? Instead of the usual mind-numbing "legal speak" and "information dump", each title focuses on a specific law, identifies the most common issues and potholes managers and organizations face-and presents easily understood, legally accurate answers and actions your managers can implement immediately.

The Complete Employment Law Package includes:

1: Legal Brief: "The Americans With Disabilities Act"

This program is designed to help managers gain a clearer understanding of how Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act impacts their workplace on a daily basis. It provides accurate legal information in clear and concise terms and is intended to provide useful information so managers can sort through tough ADA issues, and take the right actions.

2: Legal Brief: "Recruiting & Hiring"

It's an unfortunate reality that recruiting and hiring are yet another legal minefield your managers must face. And worse yet, it's all too easy for a manager with great intentions to put your organization at risk. Now, this new Legal Briefs module can help you equip your managers to find and hire the right people and stay in compliance with the law. With straightforward language and real-world examples this video addresses the most common and dangerous potholes managers face-and presents specific actions any manager can implement to keep themselves and your organization out of court.

3: Legal Brief: "Harassment & Discrimination"

This program is designed to help managers understand that harassment can take many forms-and that all forms can lead to charges not only of harassment, but of discrimination as well. As this line becomes more and more blurred it is critical that your managers understand what constitutes harassment and discrimination and what they can do to prevent them. Using straightforward language and real-world examples this video answers managers' most frequently asked questions and provides a list of specific actions they can implement immediately to help them, and your organization, stay out of court.

4: Legal Brief: "Discipline & Termination"

Coaching. Progressive discipline. Termination. These are challenging jobs for any manager no matter how seasoned. But they are also absolutely essential skills in today's litigious workplace. This program uses straightforward language and real world examples to present the most common issues and potholes that managers and organizations face. Then it provides specific actions any manager can implement to help them avoid their day in court. This video covers issues like avoidance, such as delegating discipline, transferring problem employees, or fabricating "layoffs"-inconsistency, like making exceptions based on tenure or cultural differences-too much or too little documentation, and more.

5: Legal Brief: "The Family and Medical Leave Act"

The Family and Medical Leave Act is one of the most confusing laws managers and organizations face. Unfortunately, claiming confusion in a courtroom won't carry much weight. This program is sure to provide your managers with the basic knowledge of the law they need, and with specific actions they can take, to insure FMLA is administered fairly and correctly in your organization-and that you are protected from liability.

Using straightforward language and real world examples this video touches on the most common and difficult issues managers face. Issues like: qualifying a serious health condition, defining continuing treatment, medical certification and re-certification, interplay between FMLA/ADA/Work Comp, designating conditional leave, & more.

6: Legal Brief: "Workplace Violence: A Legal Role"

Making the workplace safe from violence is a high priority for organizations today. But there is a real risk of legal liability as well. Because of workplace violence, organizations have been sued for negligent hiring and retention, constructive discharge, and failure to provide a secure environment. This new Legal Briefs module will help insure your managers know their legal obligation and the actions they can take to keep your workplace safe and out of court. This program also provides specific instructions on how to appropriately and legally investigate rumors, do background checks and employment screenings, and more.

7: Legal Brief: "Substance Abuse"

This program is designed to help you gain a clearer understanding of a manager's responsibility regarding enforcing and maintaining a drug-free workplace. It provides answers to several of the most common questions managers struggle with, including:
* Do you need to be absolutely sure a person is using drugs or alcohol before you confront them about his or her behavior?
* When addressing performance issues with someone you suspect is using drugs or alcohol on the job, do you communicate these suspicions directly to the individual?
* If you confront the employee and they start crying or get angry, what do you do?
* As a manager, is it my job to diagnose and counsel an employee with a suspected substance abuse problem?
