Ask a Lawyer | October 17, 2023
Before the pandemic, when we met in person for our Chapter Meetings at Gardner Village, Salt Lake SHRM provided a one hour “Ask a Lawyer” hot topic roundtable. The Ask a Lawyer table has been a great value add to our Salt Lake SHRM Members.
Hosted by one of our Co-Directors of Legal Affairs, Bob Coursey or Mark Tolman, the Ask a Lawyer table presented an opportunity for our members to pick the brains of our employment law specialists, all while Bob and Mark were “off the clock.”
Please join Bob and Mark, and come prepared with your employment law questions for them!
Disclaimer: Although Bob and Mark will try to respond to your employment law questions with general legal information, Bob and Mark cannot provide specific legal advice or legal opinion in this setting.
