In order to help area businesses and nonprofits better manage issues related to harassment and discrimination, Goodwill Manasota is bringing in speakers from the U.S. Department of Labor and the Hultman Sensenig + Joshi law firm for Time’s Up – Sexual Harassment and Employment Law in 2018. The workshop will help organizations to learn how to identify and address harassment and discrimination in the workplace and discuss the DOL’s enforcement priorities. Lourdes Bahr and Al Hernandez of the U.S. Department of Labor will discuss company culture issues and compliance in relation to proper categorizing of employees as exempt and non-exempt, proper payment of wages – including overtime, and misclassification of independent contractors. Christine R. Sensenig, Esquire, of Hultman Sensenig + Joshi, will discuss the risks that sexual harassment claims pose. This program will take place on Wednesday January 31 from 9-11 am at Goodwill’s Cortez Community Room (3465 Cortez Road W., Bradenton). This workshop is free but reservations are required.
