CSI HR: When Your Employee is Accused or Gets Arrested

Tuesday, March 9, 2010 – 10:00 – 11:30 p.m. CST

Can you fire an arrested employee without inviting legal entanglements? How should HR respond if your organization turns into CSI? How do you quell employee fears when a worker is led out of the building in handcuffs?

Be prepared to handle these tough workplace scenarios confidently and legally by participating in this critical audio conference.

Coming this Tuesday, March 9
11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Eastern
10 to 11:30 a.m. Central
9 to 10:30 a.m. Mountain
8 to 9:30 a.m. Pacific

In just 90 minutes, experienced employment law attorneys will explain how to handle scenarios involving arrested employees, search warrants, subpoenas, and more.

You’ll learn how to take decisive action and remain legally compliant when:

  • An employee is arrested while on the job. Learn what steps to take before terminating the worker and the legal rights of the accused, as well as your organization’s legal rights.
  • An internal investigation uncovers potential criminal activity within your organization. You’ll learn if you can legally compel an employee to take a polygraph exam, and other legal dos and don’ts.
  • An employee is led out of the building in handcuffs. How should you respond? How do you apply HR policies to an employee who’s in jail?
  • Or worse… employees are afraid to come to work because a co-worker’s spouse, who just finished serving prison time for assault, has threatened to come to the workplace with violent intent. How do you quell fears and maintain calm and productivity?
  • No one wants to think about these scenarios, but the reality is that they can and do happen. Your preparation today can pay huge rewards in the future.
