Smartphones, Tablets, and Other Devices in the Workplace

$65.00

Most employees carry with them powerful devices – smartphone and tablets – that they use for mixed personal and professional use. These devices can enhance or hinder productivity. Their powerful communications capabilities enable a range of activity which potentially exposes employers to liability. Employers struggle with crafting policies that allow employees autonomy to use their devices and even channel them to productive work use, but limit their exposure to liability, including allegations that employers are invading the privacy of employees. This program will provide you with a practical guide to drafting policies for using smart devices on the job. Monitoring workplace usage and potential violations/liability for invasions of privacy Wage and hour issues – when does the workday begin and end when employees are never disconnected?

Trust & Estate Planning for Cabins, Boats, and Other Family Recreational Assets

$65.00

Clients frequently have substantial reactional assets that they want to pass in their estates – family cabins, mountain houses, other retreats, boats, and other assets.

Any or all of these assets may have substantial financial value and almost always have emotional value to clients. Planning for these assets is a blend of property and tax law, but also practical counseling of clients.
