As an HR professional, hiring the right talent, addressing employee needs, and managing terminations are just a few of the most challenging problems that arise. During this year's three-part Employment Breakfast Webinar Series, we'll explore how to craft clear, consistent policies that help streamline decision-making processes and establish a strong organizational framework which both supports employees and lays the foundation for discipline and termination processes.

Balancing the complex web of laws surrounding employee leave, managing staffing gaps, and knowing when it’s time to terminate an employee on leave are just a few pieces of the puzzle that is employee leave. Creating clear policies for requesting, documenting, and tracking leave are critical pieces of helping HR solve that puzzle. This session will break down the different types of leave, outline employer obligations, and offer best practices for navigating terminations when the need arises.
