  • Summary

  • Navigating Department of Labor or EEOC investigations can be tricky, but being well-prepared is key to protecting your business. In this insightful episode, we chat with Lisa Smith, an EEOC-certified investigator about her firsthand experience dealing with such investigations and the tough questions she faced. Don't miss out on this practical guide on the importance of having proper knowledge and documentation in place to avoid potential legal challenges. We also tackle a burning question many employers face: should terminated employees be required to update their LinkedIn profiles to avoid misrepresentation? Learn about the potential pitfalls of not addressing this issue and how you can take control through severance agreements. Plus, hear from our guest Lisa Smith on her insights into the crucial role of training, professional development, and documentation for legal compliance. We discuss the importance of being "audit secure" rather than "audit proof" and explore the steps you need to take now to prevent any issues in the future. From having the right documentation in place to consulting with HR experts or employment attorneys, we'll guide you through the process of ensuring your business is in the best position to make it through an audit with minimal penalties or fines. Tune in now and get ahead of any employment issues that could affect your business and employees.
