HRMA of Northwest Missouri Presents:
In Court: What story does your personnel records tell?
Program Description:
Despite the electronic age, documentation continues to be one of the most important aspects of employment law. Properly maintained personnel records can be an asset to the company and limit exposure long after an employee has departed. This presentation will focus on maintaining a personnel file that can withstand the scrutiny of the government and a court of law. We will also address internal e-mails, documenting performance and best practices to ensure the greatest protection.
