The law - both in the U.S. and around the globe, continues to change as technology advances, the social and political climate evolves and industries grow and decline. It’s more important than ever for human resources to understand relevant legal issues so they can make better, more informed business decisions.
We all benefit from knowledge of legal best practices, the current state of regulations, important legal codes, and the general legal trends or issues within their industry. We should also understand the legal ramifications of our decisions and policies to help protect our organization from costly lawsuits, harm to its reputation, and threats to its position in the market.
The more we understand, the more we ensure organizational compliance. Every industry must practice compliance to make sure we serve our customers, employees, and community well. This includes anticipating the unforeseen: using your understanding of current law, as well as ways the law and your industry may evolve.
This webinar will describe the basics of common law as well as the evolution of common law, particularly as it pertains to employment and employee relations.
Areas Covered
- How did common law evolve?
- Exceptions to common law
- The basic legal concepts of common law and how they apply to employment
- The Rule of Law
- Due Process. Where it comes from and how it is currently evolving
- How jurisdiction impact and create a conflict of laws?
- The levels of law and how they interact
Who Should Attend
Anyone who is responsible for recruiting, staffing, or compliance will benefit from this webinar.
Why Should You Attend
Human resource professionals must learn to work with a complex framework of different legal systems across states, municipalities and the federal government.
At the heart of any legal system is a set of core beliefs about what constitutes right and wrong. To comply with and anticipate the requirements of a system of laws, it helps to have an understanding of these core beliefs and values.
Common law is based on legal precedent and each case is considered in terms of how it relates to judicial decisions over time.
This webinar will examine the common core beliefs and values of common law and how they interact with employment legislation at every level.
Topic Background
Employment law is a combination of the myriad legislative and regulatory laws and rights as well as common law rights and requirements. Perhaps the most important obligation exists under workplace health and safety legislation. Employers have a duty to ensure the health and safety of their workers while at work, so far as is reasonably practicable.
In addition, employers also have statutory obligations under employment, discrimination, consumer protection, and privacy legislation.
Common law is a body of unwritten laws based on legal precedents established by the courts. Common law influences the decision-making process in unusual cases where the outcome cannot be determined based on existing statutes or written rules of law. The U.S. common-law system evolved from a British tradition that spread to North America during the 17th- and 18th-century colonial period.
Because legal precedents are not always considered binding and because legal positions evolve over time, common law can change, although the change is evolutionary rather than revolutionary.
