posted Friday, April 17, 2009 9:14 PM

"HR Forum Part II Employment Law Outlook for 2009: Avoiding the Courthouse" is a lunch and learn offering of the Texas Business Alliance occurring on Tuesday, April 21, 2009, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Houston Community College, 3100 Main Street.  Laurence E. Stuart, a partner with Legge, Farrow, Kimmitt, McGrath & Brown, will present the forum. Mr. Stuart is Board Certified in Labor and Employment Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. He also is president of HR Houston. 

Today, employment laws are far-reaching, and managers along with the organizations they work for can't afford the luxury of ignorance. You must be up to date on the law, its interpretations, and know exactly how those laws apply to situations within your organization. Otherwise, you risk employee complaints, lawsuits, and huge fines. Additionally, federal laws and the courts´ interpretation of those laws have changed in recent months.

This lunch and learn offering is a comprehensive overview of current employment laws.  It is valuable for business owners, managers, human resources directors and staff, team leaders, and general and operations managers.  

Class participants will learn practical steps to take in light of:

  • Amendments to the Americans with Disabilities Act
  • New regulations interpreting the Family and Medical Leave Act
  • Litigation risks posed by the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act
  • Recent Supreme Court decisions expanding retaliation claims

Get the answers you need in one comprehensive presentation by enrolling now!  Register online at www.texasbusinessalliance.org or call 281.213.9554.  The cost is $25 for non-TBA members and $20 for TBA members. A fabulous hot, catered lunch is included.
