Together Forrest and Megan Cornell, a lawyer and the Founder & CEO of Momentum Law, discussed the legal and HR importance of having proper written Employment Policies in your small business. They specifically went over:

  • Social media policies
  • Violence and harassment policy (legally required)
  • Policies around various leaves of absence
  • Cannabis policy

The chat was so full of substance that we couldn’t upload it as one file! Each type of policy that was reviewed has been segmented below:[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_padding_divider][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1552592336601{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]
