      Description

Have you ever run into these situations?

. "My library only employs 5 people ... so I never send COBRA notices? 
An ex-employee is now suing us to pay his medical bills. Am I in 
trouble? What SHOULD I have done?"

. "I suspect an employee is goofing off all day, so I read her emails. I 
was right! She has been goofing off half the day. She is now suing me. 
Am I in trouble? What SHOULD I have done?"

. "I want to give a reference on a former employee that was REALLY 
awful. However, my Administrator is afraid of being sued for defamation 
... but if I don't give a reference, I will never get one from this 
employer. What SHOULD I do?"

. "I have an employee who smells like alcohol. What do I do?"

. "I have a supervisor who gropes an employee at the Clippers game on 
his own time. I am now getting sued. Am I liable for this?"

. "We are going to layoff a few employees. My Administrator thinks this 
is a good time to get rid of some problem employees since we have not 
documented their poor behavior. Since this is a layoff, he thinks there 
is no liability involved...so we can do whatever we want. Is this correct?"

In this session, YOU will choose from over 30 different "STICKY 
SITUATIONS" to discuss. YOU will choose the seminar's topics. Scott will 
then use both his employment law and human resource expertise to steer 
you through these various REAL-LIFE situations to arrive at the answers 
to these pressing issues. The trick is not to just know the law, but to 
... *apply the law to good employee relations practices.*

Come and solve the "Sticky Situations for Libraries" with Scott in his 
own "rubber hits the road" approach as a human resource professional and 
employment attorney.
