join us for a fun interactive look at the areas that are most likely to create costly legal exposure at your company. Topics to be covered will include key points of risk throughout the employment life cycle, common mistakes involving employee leave, and preparing
for coming changes to federal wage and hour laws. You don¡¦t want to miss this!</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#333333"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
