Paul, Plevin offers in-house training that is second to none. Our employment law experts offer upbeat, informative, practical and “non-legal” training for all employees, including all levels of management. Some of our more popular training sessions are:

• Sexual Harassment Training for Supervisors and Employees
  This training includes an overview of common workplace issues in the area of harassment based on sex, age, disability, race, national origin. The module for employees emphasizes how easy it is to get into trouble in this area, how to avoid crossing the line, and how to “say no” when necessary. The module for supervisors also explores the basics of investigating and evaluating an employee’s harassment claim. Our supervisor training meets all of the requirements of the new mandatory harassment training law AB 1825, which took effect on January 1, 2005. 

• Seven Habits of the Frequently Sued Manager
  This fun and unique "managing within the law" training covers issues such as thoughtful hiring, effective employee criticism, avoiding sexual and other harassment, spotting disability and leave issues, general performance and misconduct documentation, and wage and hour issues. This training is intended for all levels of managers, from first-line supervisors to executives.

• Critical Thinking for the Human Resources Professional
  Human resources professionals are regularly challenged with new and unique situations. This invaluable training draws on actual workplace issues and the use of interactive training to assist human resources professionals with analyzing and attacking new issues and problems.

• How to Investigate Employee Misconduct
  Allegations of sexual harassment, retaliation, and other worker misconduct, including financial fraud, must be investigated. When an employee complains, litigation is an unfortunate probability if the complaint is not investigated quickly and fully. This training gives investigators the tools they need to conduct solid, defensible, and thorough investigations that will stand up in court.

• Managing Employees Who Can't or Won't Work
  Many laws regulate employees' rights to be absent from work. For example, there is the "Bermuda Triangle" of family and medical leave, workers' compensation and pregnancy leave, not to mention both federal and state disability laws. There are also laws imposing obligations for military leaves, jury duty, domestic violence situations, and more. This training assists supervisors and human resources professionals in recognizing situations that trigger leave obligations and educates them on how to effectively evaluate and respond to such situations.

• Layoffs Without Lawsuits
  This training, which is geared toward human resources personnel, decision makers, and in-house legal counsel, provides a detailed road map for conducting a workforce reduction in a way that reduces a company’s exposure to discrimination, wrongful termination, severance, and other liabilities.

• Avoiding Wage and Hour Time Bombs
  Understanding and applying wage and hour laws in California is a daunting task. This training focuses on the most common – and expensive – errors employers tend to make, and offers solutions for limiting exposure on existing claims and avoiding future violations.
