A Free Lunch & Learn Series about HR and Employment Practices
What is the HR Café?
It is an opportunity for HR professionals and managers to learn and update their knowledge of the ever-changing “mine-fields” of today’s employment regulations and legal requirements for employers.
Who should come to the HR Café?
The Café serves all customers—small to large businesses (HR professionals, plant and/or operations managers, supervisors, and others that hire and manage employees) can benefit from these sessions.
Joanie Winters, a local Employment Law attorney, is leading the series for the SC Works Catawba . Joanie practices out of her office in Chester, SC. She also teaches at Winthrop University and is a member of the Catawba Workforce Investment Board.
The first course of the series, You’re Hired!, was offered in October, 2012 to area businesses—both small and
large. The success of the first session prompted a repeat session in January. The HR Café then went on the road in February to Lancaster County businesses. In March, another session, The Stuff No One Tells You, was held in York County. It gave employers a comprehensive guide to new hire documentation requirements and proper employee filing requirements.
