Small Business Breakfast "Employment Law"

On Friday March 30, 2012
The Woodbridge Chamber of Commerce held a Small Business Council Meeting at the Colonia Country Club at 8am. The topic was "Employment Law" presented by Dominic Bratti and Beth Hinsdale-Piller from Wilentz Goldman & Spitzer. This had to be one of the most informative breakfast we have had. The topics that were discussed were:

·         How can I control the use of social media at my workplace?

·         What are the new posting requirements concerning employee rights?

·         How should I handle discrimination allegations?

·         Can I still conduct criminal background and credit checks on new hires?

·         How do I deal with a possible union election in the wake of sweeping federal changes?

Some of our members had some positive feedback they wanted to share to those who did not attend.

"This morning I attended an important seminar given by Wilentz Goldman & Spitzer on Employment Law. Among many other things, I learned vital information on controlling social media in the workplace, and practical procedures to follow to ensure employee termination without legal ramifications. Dominick Brady and Beth Hinsdale-Piller were concise and factual. I'm looking forward to part two."

Glenn Slavin, Esq

"In all my years of sitting through breakfast speakers, this morning was one of the best. I feel as though we could've listened all morning on employment law issues from Dominick Bratti & Beth Hinsdale-Piller who do employer side representation."

Ray Zirpolo

"One of the best breakfast presentations. I learned so much new information. Can't wait for the part two presentation by Dominick Bratti and Beth Hinsdal-Piller"
