Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center
10905 Road to the Cure

Sponsored by Procopio in partnership with CONNECT.
Program Overview:
Historically, the workplace remained almost entirely unregulated, with employees enjoying few, if any, rights. Today, with the complexity and variety of labor situations that can arise, employment law issues can potentially result in time-consuming and costly administrative complaints, or even lawsuits. In order to minimize the possibility of legal challenges in the workplace, it is imperative to understand the basic employment law responsibilities of an employer. B. Allison Borkenheim and Wendy Tucker from Procopio, Cory, Hargreaves & Savitch LLP will provide an overview of basic labor and employment issues to help prepare you for the workplace.
