[Michlib-l] Join MLA tomorrow for a FREE MLA Connect Webinar: Library Employment Policies

[rfash at milibraries.org]

Join MLA and Attorney Mike Blum of Foster, Swift, Collins, & Smith PC tomorrow, Friday, April 17 from 1:00 - 2:00pm for another FREE MLA Connect Webinar!


It is important to ensure that employment policies are current and fully protect the library's legal interests. Employee handbooks are essential for employers in today's litigious environment. However, there are mistakes in drafting policies that could jeopardize an employer's ability to successfully defend employment claims. We will explore phrases and terms that should never be used in employment policies, and discuss do's and don'ts of drafting an effective employee handbook.


We will also discuss strategies for getting employees back to work once Gov. Whitmer's Stay Home, Stay Safe executive order expires, and how to deal with employees who resist and would prefer to collect unemployment benefits.


This webinar is free to attend for MLA Members. A maximum of 100 attendees can attend the live webinar. Registration is first-come, first-served. You must be an MLA member to register.
