PBPO Quarterly Employment Webinar Series

Session 1: Employment Policies 101: A Nonprofit's Guide to the Essentials

Join us to hear from the experts at Thompson Hine on important issues faced by nonprofit employers. Each 1-hour session gives an overview of the latest legal developments, practical solutions, and a chance for you to ask your questions live.

Is your nonprofit's employee handbook outdated? Are you unsure of whether your nonprofit even needs one? Have you wondered which policies are absolutely critical and which are optional? For answers to these questions, legal updates, and best practices, join us for this webinar.

In this session, you will learn:

• What Policies Do You Really Need? We'll break down the must-have policies for every nonprofit.
• What Policies Can You Ditch? We'll identify common policies that are often redundant, confusing, or even potentially harmful, helping you streamline your handbook and reduce administrative burden.
• Handbook Essentials: We'll guide you through the key components of a legally sound and practical employee handbook.
• Navigating Leave Requirements: From FMLA to state-specific regulations, we'll clarify what’s required of nonprofits of different sizes.
• Staying Ahead of the Curve: We'll discuss recent legal updates impacting nonprofit employment policies, so you can stay informed and avoid potential pitfalls.
• Best Practices for Policy Implementation: Beyond simply writing policies, we'll explore best practices for communicating, enforcing, and regularly reviewing your policies to ensure they remain effective and relevant.
