HR Essentials: Employment Law Essentials for Nonprofits
With Linda Strauss
Running a small nonprofit means wearing the HR hat whether you trained for it or not, and the cost of getting employment law wrong can do real harm to a mission-driven organization. This session covers the federal and New Mexico rules every nonprofit employer needs to have on their radar: complying with the Healthy Workplaces Act and paid sick leave requirements, correctly classifying your people as employees, volunteers, contractors, or interns, knowing the difference between salaried (exempt) and hourly (non-exempt) workers, and understanding when you're legally required to accommodate an employee's medical condition or religious beliefs. You'll leave knowing what you must do, what you can do, and what to watch for.
