Protect Your Organization. Empower Your Team.

 St. Croix EDC, Polk County EDC, and Pierce County EDC present a virtual lunch and learn opportunity with Eckberg Lammers. 


Join Lida Bannink, Employment Law Attorney at Eckberg Lammers, for a practical and engaging training on two of the most critical—and legally risky—aspects of management: documentation and employee leave.
Whether you're a new supervisor or a seasoned leader, this training is essential for all managers. You’ll walk away with the knowledge and tools to confidently handle performance issues, employee absences, and potential legal landmines—before they become HR nightmares.

 

Many supervisors believe that “at-will” employment means they can terminate anyone, anytime, for any reason. While technically true, this mindset overlooks the legal protections employees have under laws like the ADA, FMLA, and anti-discrimination statutes. One poorly handled termination—especially without documentation—can trigger costly legal exposure. Learn why “at-will” doesn’t mean “risk-free.”

 

What You’ll Learn:

 

Part I: The Power of Documentation

  • When and how to document performance and employment decisions
  • Effective vs. ineffective documentation
  • Why documentation matters legally and operationally
  • Real-world examples and common pitfalls

 

Part II: Leave Management Made Clear

  • Understanding Federal, State, and Local leave obligations
  • What to do when employees request accommodations or need time off
  • Navigating intermittent and reduced schedule leave
  • Best practices to reduce liability and ensure compliance
  • The role of managers in protecting both the employee and organization

 

Why Attend?

Supervisors and managers are often the first to spot performance concerns or receive leave-related requests—but too often, they are undertrained on how to respond in a way that is both legally sound and practically effective. This session bridges that gap with clear guidance, relatable examples, and practical tools.

 

Train smarter. Document better. Lead with confidence.
