A series of luncheon workshops designed for busy business professionals will take place on Southeast Community College's Beatrice Campus in October.
Each workshop costs $20 per person, including lunch, and will be held in the Kennedy Center on SCC's Beatrice Campus, 4771 W. Scott Road. Space is limited. Participants are encouraged to register as early as possible. For more information or to register, call Kelly Morgan at (402) 238-8244, 800-233-5027 ext. 1244, or kmorgan@southeast.edu.
Following is a brief description of each workshop.
"Cash for Unused Leave, Employer Responsibilities: A Workshop for Human Resource and Office Managers." 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 6, Room 334, Kennedy Center. In 2006, the Nebraska Supreme Court ruled that under the Nebraska Wage Payment and Collection Act, vacation leave, if provided by terms of the employment agreement between employer and employee, is a fringe benefit, which is included in the definition of wages. Upon termination of employment, an employee is entitled to payment for any accrued vacation time that is provided in the employment agreement. Following this, Nebraska Legislature adopted LB 255 in 2007, in order to try to clarify the circumstances under which an employer is obligated to pay for unused leave. Regrettably, there is much that remains unclear. In this session, attorney Neal E. Stenberg will identify the areas where questions remain and provide some suggestions regarding the safest practices.
"Time Management: Making the Most of Every Day." 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 7, Kennedy Center Conference Room. Feeling as if there aren't enough hours in the day is a common complaint. We cannot control how much time is in each day, but we can take control and manage the time we have. This workshop will help develop strategies to prioritize your daily tasks, identify times of the day you are most productive, and discover the tools and techniques that work for you.
"Holiday Stress Management: Thriving, Not Just Surviving." 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 13, Kennedy Center Conference Room. One of the most stressful times of the year is almost upon us. Are you ready? In this seminar, participants will identify the sources of their stress, especially during the holidays, as well as learn how the body reacts to stress and discuss how damaging chronic stress can be to one's health. Understanding our stressors and our physiological response to stress is the first step in becoming "Stress Hardy." This workshop will look at the science of stress and how to use this information to develop effective coping techniques for both men and women.
"Properly Documenting Employee Misconduct: A Workshop for Human Resource and Office Managers." 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Monday, Oct. 19, Room 334, Kennedy Center. Most employers understand the need to properly evaluate the performance of employees and to document deficiencies. That is true, even though most employees in the private sector (and many in the public sector) are employed "at will" and may be discharged without proof of just cause. The need for documentation arises out of the fact that state and federal laws now provide a plethora of possible claims which a discharged employee may assert against a former employer. In this workshop, Stenberg will discuss employee evaluation techniques which have proved effective based on his substantial experience in litigating employment cases. Stenberg has been engaged in the practice of law since 1974 and represents many clients, primarily in the fields of labor law. He has lectured on labor law topics for 30 years.
