Do you have employees who telecommute one or more days a week? Do you have employees asking for a telecommute option, either to reduce their commute time, save on gas or achieve better work/life balance? Do you want to offer telecommuting as a benefit to your employees?

From George’s Employment Blawg:

“Many employers offer their employees the opportunity to work from home on either a regular or temporary basis. While the flexibility of a telecommuting arrangement can benefit both the employer and the employee, allowing a nonexempt employee to work at home can lead to a minefield of wage and hour issues that an employer must carefully navigate to avoid potential liability.”

On December 5 at 1:00pm Eastern, Lorman Education Service is offering a teleseminar, Wage and Hour Issues Surrounding Telecommuters. You can attend live — and if you can’t attend on December 5 (or if you just want a permanant copy for future reference), you can order a CD recording of the conference (or both).

Now, I’m not endorsing or recommending this and I have no personal experience with Lorman Educational Services, but from reading the teleseminar description, it sounds like something that might be useful to companies that have telecommuting employees. And one thing I’m all about here is educating employers to help y’all avoid those pesky wage and hour lawsuits. So you might want to at least check it out.

Better yet, thanks to George’s Blawg, you can attend at a discount. Click here to visit the George’s Employment Blawg post and learn more about this seminar. Scroll down to the bottom of the article and follow the link there to receive a 10% discount on teleseminar registration. (Note: you need to follow the link in the blog post to get the discount.)
