Would your managers and supervisors recognize an HR compliance issue if they happened upon one?
Many managers and supervisors are aware that sexual harassment is illegal, that the ADA stands for the Americans with Disabilities Act, and they might possess general knowledge of the I-9 process, but they often don’t have enough depth or breadth to their knowledge to know how to prevent problems from happening or promptly correct them when they do.
Our managers don’t have to be HR experts – that’s where Human Resources comes in. However, as a manager, it’s important to understand and know current employment laws, practices, and regulations set by federal, state, and local governments in order to treat your employees consistently and fairly and avoid any legal liability for your organization.
