many employee policies, but are rarely given any background information
on the laws governing the workplace. This module provides insight
on the various federal laws that impact management, including:
- Discrimination Laws
- Wage and Hour Regulations
- Family Leave
- Workers' Compensation
- Workplace Safety Regulations
- Hiring, Performance Management and Firing
Restrictions

This module is designed for managers and supervisors who need to
understand the legal implications of managing employees and the
organization's policies to uphold those laws.

materials which guide the leader through the material and indicate
when to ask questions, encourage discussion, use flip charts,
break into groups, and refer to specific material.
