Are You A Joint Employer? How to Understand the Legal Risks and Minimize Your Liability


Overview
Do you use staffing agency employees ("temps") to augment your workforce? Do you ever "borrow" employees from an affiliate, subsidiary or parent company? Are you a franchisor with one or more franchisees, who in turn hire employees? Did you know that you may have employer responsibilities to those employees in addition to the ones actually on your payroll? Even if they are not on your payroll, even if you did not directly hire them, you may be a joint employer. You may have as much responsibility as the entity that did directly hire them or who does "payroll" them. Sound confusing? It doesn't have to be. This webinar will help de-mystify the concept of joint employment, and help you determine if and when you are a joint employer, and what to do - and not to do - if you are.
Why should you attend this webinar?
The National Labor Relations Board, the U.S. and state Departments of Labor and a number of other agencies have been broadening the definition of the term "joint employment" to include companies that previously did not have to concern themselves with this issue. As a result, many well-intentioned employers are finding themselves making significant pay-outs that can be avoided, or at least minimized with a little bit of proactive, preventative planning. Yes, we have a new President in office, but for now all federal employment laws and regulations are the same until we hear otherwise - which means you need to have a handle on the expanding concept of joint employment and how it may affect you and your business. This webinar will help you understand when and how you might be a joint employer, your responsibilities and what steps you can take to better protect yourself.
