Are You Keeping Up With the Changes? Protecting Your Credit Union in the Ever Changing World of Employment Law

CUNA is pleased to partner with the national law firm, Constangy, Brooks & Smith, LLP, and noted Human Resource Consultant Amy Letke to present a seminar series on changes in labor and employment law.

What Has Already Changed: Understanding Your Obligations Under the ADA Amendments Act, the New FMLA Regulations, and the Ledbetter Law

Effective January 2009, employers' obligations with respect to the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Family and Medical Leave Act have changed significantly. This session will provide human resource managers and credit unions executives with the practical understanding of their legal obligations under the new framework.

What Will Change: Understanding the Labor and Employment Legislation Passed During the Six Months of the Obama Administration

In the last term of the 2008 Congress, there were several key bills pending in Congress to amend, expand, or significantly revise the employer-employee relationship. Learn what has recently happened and how it affects your credit union.

What Hasn't Changed: Avoiding Common Pitfalls that Produce Liability Under the Fair Labor Standards Act

Unchanged in principal since the Great Depression, the Fair Labor Standards Act remains the most violated, and least understood, of all federal employment laws. Employers are constantly finding themselves in violation of this law, despite their good faith effort to comply, and the Plaintiff's bar is catching on to the ease with which class actions can be brought. Make sure your credit union is not the next victim.

What Will Never Change: Motivating Employees to Excellence in Difficult Economic Times

It goes without saying that no employee ever called the Plaintiff's lawyer, labor union or government agency to express their gratitude for their great work environment. Instead, they call to voice concerns of "fair" treatment, favoritism, abusiveness, or their subjective perception of mistreatment. How can you expect your employees to serve customers if your credit union has not created a management culture of servant leadership? Learn how in this session.

Toolkits for ADAAA, the New FMLA and Ledbetter Law

This session will provide you with sample language for position descriptions, policies for employee handbooks, "how to guides" and details for addressing the challenges of ADA, FMLA and strategies for increased effectiveness with the Ledbetter Law. You’ll put change into action, with a simple and easy-to-administer program to implement these new legislative changes.

A High Spot Review for Your Institution

How does your institution measure up with regard to the Fair Labor Standards Act and other areas of HR? Come to this session and receive checklists, a "high spot review" of HR practices, and suggestions to improve and "tighten up" practices that may leave you open to scrutiny.
