Description

Learn about the status of the law regarding LGBTQ employees, and what an employer’s responsibilities are when it comes to updating their employee handbook and internal harassment and discrimination training. Significant changes have taken place in federal law, but that’s not all — many states have their own laws regarding protection in the workplace for LGBTQ employees, including transgender employees or those making the transition. In addition, municipalities in several states have their own laws as well, creating a minefield for the unwary HR practitioner. This session also includes a sample transgender/transition policy and a list of state laws, as well as specifics on how to adjust your harassment and discrimination training.
