With class action wage and hour claims increasing, as well as discrimination, harassment, retaliation, whistleblowing, EEOC enforcement and litigation on the rise, HR professionals are under more and more pressure to make sure they are doing everything right legally. It is critical that managers prepare by understanding what are the five biggest legal threats and steps to avoid them in their workplace.
