HR Council Meeting March 4th |
TELECOMMUTING AND
EMPLOYEE USE OF ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION DEVICES
 Employment Attorney Leslie Lockard (The Law Office of Leslie Lockard) will speak on the topic of "Minimizing the Legal Risks of Telecommuting and Employee Use of Electronic Communications Devices". Many employers allow employees to work from home, either routinely or temporarily. There are some circumstances in which employers are legally required to allow employees to telecommute. There are a surprising number of legal risks and considerations associated with telecommuting that you need to know and to handle appropriately. This presentation will give you the information you need to handle these matters correctly. 8:00-9:15am @NVCC Office
