WINTER PARK, Fla. — On June 26, Seawright & Associates will be hosting a one-day HR Conference in Orlando. The idea behind this conference is to involve multiple businesses in a forum. The possibility exists that the most sweeping HR-related changes in 30 years are forthcoming, according to Jean Seawright.

This conference is ideal for business owners, managers, and new or seasoned HR professionals and will cover a variety of essential, up-to-the-minute HR topics including:

  • How to Keep Your Workplace Union-Free (EFCA update, NLRB practices, recognizing signs of union activity, what unions mean for employees, union avoidance policies for your handbook, conditions that lead to unions, small business threats, and more!)
  • Overview of New and Pending Employment Legislation (Healthy Families Act (paid sick leave), FMLA for small businesses, Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, Employment Non-Discrimination Act, new FMLA requirements, Paycheck Fairness Act, new EEOC enforcement guidance pertaining to caregivers, and much more!)
  • Immigration Compliance (New DHS enforcement practices targeting employers, types of immigration violations, new I-9 form, best practices for ensuring compliance, and more!)
  • How to Avoid the Top Five Wage and Hour Liabilities (Overtime exemptions, meal breaks, deductions from salaried employees, travel time, and more!)
  • Ten Things Every Leader MUST Know About HR (Employee handbooks, sexual harassment, terminations, background checks, and more!)

    The union avoidance session will be conducted by labor relations expert, Paul Sommerville, who has more than 30 years of experience consulting with small companies and Fortune 500 companies on proactive business and labor relations strategies. Among others, Sommerville’s prestigious client list includes American Airlines, Toys R Us, PepsiCola USA, CocaCola USA, and others. He has conducted more than 200 certification and decertification elections under NLRB and RLA with a 95+% win rate.
