Employment Law Brief interest form
July 29, 2026 at 1:00 PM Eastern. Free, attorney-led, and focused on careful first response to recurring workplace law issues.
Why this briefing matters
Employment law risk often starts with an ordinary workplace question.
A manager hears a complaint. HR reviews inconsistent documentation. An accommodation signal appears in a scheduling conversation. A performance discussion takes place soon after protected activity. The legal issue may not be obvious at first, but the first response can shape what happens next.
Risk
Spot legal signals earlier.
Participants get practical context for recognizing when a workplace issue may need HR or legal attention.
Consistency
Improve manager and HR alignment.
The briefing helps teams use steadier language around complaints, documentation, discipline, leave, accommodation, and retaliation risk.
Action
Know what to pause, document, and escalate.
The goal is not to make managers into lawyers. It is to help people recognize when employment law guidance is needed.
Who should attend
Built for teams that influence workplace decisions.
The briefing is best for professionals who advise managers, review employee relations matters, support compliance, or make workplace decisions that need a practical employment law lens.
HR
HR leaders and HR business partners
For teams guiding managers through complaints, discipline, performance, leave, accommodation, and documentation questions.
ER
Employee relations professionals
For people who need consistent issue spotting and escalation habits across recurring workplace matters.

What the briefing covers
Practical employment law topics tied to workplace decisions.
Final agenda language should be confirmed with the faculty lead. The page is written around safe, practical employment law themes that fit IAML’s workplace training focus.
02
Retaliation and protected activity signals
Why timing, tone, follow-up, schedule changes, and discipline can carry different risk after an employee raises a concern.
03
Documentation, performance, and discipline
How clearer factual records help HR and managers make more consistent workplace decisions.
04
Leave, accommodation, harassment, and discrimination issue spotting
When common manager questions may need HR review before anyone improvises an answer.
What participants leave with
Better judgment for recurring workplace law moments.
The briefing should help participants leave with practical ways to recognize risk earlier, support more consistent HR and manager guidance, and know when to escalate instead of guessing.
Recognize risk earlier
Notice complaint, retaliation, leave, accommodation, harassment, discrimination, and documentation signals before the path is set.
Guide managers more consistently
Use clearer language for what managers should say, avoid promising, document, and escalate.
Improve documentation habits
Focus records on facts, timing, prior guidance, policy application, and next steps.
Know when to involve HR or legal
Separate ordinary coaching from issues that need additional review before action continues.
