Seminars, Training, and Internet/Intranet Resources
The Employment Law Advisory Network sponsors employment law seminars and training for employers. The seminars are all-day events covering a variety of the most important HR and employment law topics about which owners, managers, and other supervisory personnel need to know. The topics at these seminars are presented by leading employment law attorneys in your area who are known not only for their subject matter expertise, but also for their ability to get the information across to employers in plain terms and in interesting and engaging ways. Those who attend always come away with nuts-and-bolts information and practical tips that they can put to use immediately back in their businesses. The value: No other seminar even comes close: in addition to being able to get straight information from expert speakers and ask them questions, attendees also receive comprehensive written materials from the speakers, a conference "notebook" on a CD-ROM in user-friendly, fully-searchable software format, substantial discounts on ELANet software, and free e-mail consultation support from employment law attorneys for 30 days after the program to ensure that all follow-up questions from the seminars are answered. The price: depending upon the seminar, $150.00 to $250.00 per attendee, with group discounts available for attendees from the same organization.

Employment law training is available through the Employment Law Advisory Network for companies that need individualized training for their employees or management personnel. ELANet contracts with employment law attorneys who are experienced in presenting employment law subjects to groups of any size and type. Popular subjects for management and supervisory staff include how to minimize risk from harassment claims, hiring, ADA/FMLA, wage and hour laws, alternative staffing, and termination procedures. Many companies ask for specialized wage and hour law training for their payroll staff. In addition, some companies like to be proactive in harassment prevention and risk management by scheduling harassment training for their entire workforce. Finally, many companies have found that giving all of their employees a basic orientation in a broad range of employment law issues cuts down on complaints, morale problems, and time spent by HR/payroll/supervisory staff dealing with routine or avoidable questions and complaints.
ELANet also prepares fully-customized Internet- or intranet-based software programs for company staff to use as a reference or frequently-asked-questions (FAQ) guide on the company network. The same is available for other personnel-related documents such as employment forms and personnel handbooks. To see a basic example of what such a system can look like, see the online book featured on this Web site, Employment Law Basics for Employers. Companies utilizing such a resource have found that having answers available online for employees and management personnel cuts down tremendously on time and trouble spent responding to common concerns, time that could be better spent on the things that the company is in business to do. Prices are extremely reasonable for a flexible and valuable resource of this nature. For information on how your company can arrange for such an online reference system, send an e-mail to
