It's up to HR to ensure that hiring, discipline, and termination practices are compliant with the law. Otherwise, you could put your company at risk of incurring costly fines, penalties, and employee lawsuits. Sage is offering a live one hour webcast on the court rulings in 2011 and how they can affect you and your company. The webinar will be presented by Mary Anne Osborne and is free to attend.


This webcast will review the 2011 dockets for HR related court cases. A brief background of each case will be presented along with the outcome and discussion of the specific implications on the administration within the Human Resources function. Focus will be on federal court findings, although specific state findings that are relevant to HR, setting precedence for future findings, will be covered.

Participants will learn:

• Which U.S. Supreme court rulings affect human resources and what you should be doing to protect your company.
• Which state case rulings are setting precedence for future rulings that might affect your business.
• Which cases will be ruled upon in early 2012, so employers and HR departments can be vigilant in following cases specific to their business practices.

Who Should Attend:

Attendees should include Human Resource Managers and business professionals in the U.S. who desire to become more knowledgeable in how business will be affected by legal decisions passed on during 2011.
