ANE: Compliance Lab--HR Pitfalls, Hiring Practices, and Handbook Review


ID : 18593   

« back to classes page
This practical workshop helps nonprofit leaders identify the most common HR compliance pitfalls that can create risk for their organization, including requirements under the Virginia Human Rights Act. We’ll explore core compliance areas such as documentation, classification, wage and hour issues, and the legal considerations that shape today’s recruitment and interview processes. Participants are encouraged to bring their employee handbook, if they have one, for a guided review and open discussion of shared challenges and pain points. Together, we’ll examine how hiring, interviewing, and screening practices support or compromise compliance, and identify what handbooks may be missing or need to be updated. You’ll leave with clearer expectations, actionable insights, and greater confidence in strengthening your organization’s compliance practices.

Learning Outcomes:
  • Identify key HR compliance risks commonly faced by organizations
  • Review ways hiring, interviewing, and background check processes can compromise compliance
  • Discuss organizational pain points through open dialogue and peer feedback
