Employment Law Conference to Go Beyond Basics For Experienced HR Professionals

    OLD SAYBROOK, CT, June 25, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Business & Legal Reports, Inc. (BLR ) announced today that its third annual National Employment Law Update conference program has been designed for experienced HR professionals, employers, supervisors, business owners, and attorneys. Attendees will receive comprehensive updates on legislative and regulatory changes from a slate of expert speakers and practical tips for dealing with these changes and reducing litigation risks. The 3-day event will be held October 19-21 at The Venetian, Las Vegas.

"This year's conference," according to Robert Brady, president and founder of BLR, "is designed specifically to address the needs of experienced HR professionals, who already have a handle on the basics of employment law and are looking for more intense training to stay on the cutting edge of their profession."

In two half-day workshops, nine sessions, including a keynote speaker and a bonus lunch session presented by Brady, employers and HR professionals will learn how to protect themselves from lawsuits and non-compliance-related fines during the economic downturn.
.
"It's a brave new world in HR as sweeping changes have been put into place since the start of 2009. With a new president, proemployee administration, and Congress, HR professionals have already seen big changes to big laws, like FMLA and ADA," adds Brady. "The impact and practical implications of these changes will be debated for many months to come."

Attendees will be eligible for 19 hours of credit toward PHR recertification. Early bird registration rates are available through June 30, 2009.
