About this course
What this course covers
A practical grounding in the U.S. employment law that small and mid-sized employers cannot afford to get wrong. The course works through the compliance landscape, the Fair Labor Standards Act wage and hour rules, FMLA, ADA, and the way leave laws overlap in real cases. It closes with a hands-on activity for putting AI to work inside the compliance workflow without creating new risk.
Who should attend. HR generalists, office managers, and small business owners who carry compliance responsibility without a legal team behind them.
