MADISON, Wis. – Credit union professionals can ensure they are in compliance with all the new and updated labor and employment laws with a new conference from CUNA.

Coastal HR Employment Law Conference, July 23-24 in Hilton Head, S.C., will explain current and upcoming changes to human resources acts, laws, and regulations, and how they affect credit unions.

Topics to be covered include:

• What has already changed – explains credit unions’ legal obligations under the new Americans with Disabilities Amendments Act (ADA), new Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) regulations, and the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.
• What will change – outlines amended, expanded, or significantly revised labor and employment legislation passed by the Obama administration and the effects on credit unions.
• What hasn't changed – helps credit unions avoid common pitfalls that produce liability under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the most violated and least understood of all federal employment laws.
• What will never change – learn to motivate employees to excellence in difficult economic times by creating a management culture of servant leadership.
• Toolkits for ADA, the new FMLA, and Ledbetter law – supplies sample language for position descriptions, policies for employee handbooks, how to guides, and other information to help address these challenges.
• Credit union high-spot review – provides checklists and a high-spot review of human resources practices, along with suggestions to improve practices that may leave a credit union open to scrutiny.
• Measuring effectiveness of employee satisfaction – reviews some of the best methods for measuring employee satisfaction and performance and tips to achieve the results for long-term satisfaction and performance.
