Employment law is critically important to businesses and to the general public, as the rights and responsibilities of employers and employees continually develop and evolve. The United States Congress and the North Carolina General Assembly continue to change the laws and judicially interpreted nuances of employment law continue to expand.
This program, both a basic primer and a useful update, provides a general overview and explanation of basic issues in each of the major areas that employment lawyers regularly address.
Learn from experienced practitioners presenting their practical knowledge and viewpoints, including detailed papers with citations to case law, statutes and applicable regulations.
