About Our Program:
Understanding the WARN Act: Safeguarding Businesses During Layoffs
Kanya Olivier, founder of Company Bridge Program, will speak to us about managing layoffs, avoiding the legal risks and employee transitions in the hospitality industry.
Do you know about mandatory off boarding procedures for the hospitality industry? As a subject matter expert in EEOC compliance, workforce transitions, and persons governed under collective bargaining agreements (unions), she is excited to share actionable insights tailored to our members’ needs.
With so many of our member properties prepping for closure for remodeling or other situations, this is a very timely subject for our group. This session provides HR professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the WARN Act, its requirements, and practical strategies for compliance during layoffs or closures in South Florida.
Learning Objectives:
· Learn the WARN Act’s requirements for employee and government notifications.
· Identify pitfalls and penalties associated with non-compliance.
· Develop strategies for managing layoffs while safeguarding employees and organizational integrity. Even if your property is not in this situation, this is great information to have.
