Setting Your Company Up for Success: Avoiding Potential Employment Pitfalls
New entrepreneurs and small businesses will encounter a number of employment law issues from the outset. Learn from management-side employment law attorney Lauren Goetzl how to get started while avoiding potential pitfalls, touching on topics such as: the importance of an employee handbook (and what should be in it), independent contractors versus employees, hiring and onboarding new employees, protecting confidential information, utilizing restrictive covenants (including non-competes), ensuring compliance with wage and hour laws, and implementing leave policies.
Join us Wednesday, March 8th from noon until 1 pm for this workshop at Blush Cowork.

About BLUSH
Blush Cowork is the first women-focused coworking space with childcare in Cary, NC.
We wanted to create a coworking space with a few key differences. We are open to all, but want to focus on creating a safe and welcoming space for women to work, collaborate, achieve and flourish. Traditional coworking spaces are generally located in city centers or downtown areas, but we chose to focus on coming to our members and making it easy to drop in, whether it’s just you, your team, or even with children in tow. We believe that childcare should not be a luxury, and realize what a huge factor reliable, safe childcare plays in any parent’s potential to be productive or creative.
