Supervisors and middle managers need to know the basics of employment law. Our ASL106: Ethics and Regulations Course teaches them just that. This course won’t be offered again for some time!

You’ll learn to recognize and prevent sexual harassment, understand wage and hour laws, and apply Equal Employment Opportunity regulations to foster a respectful, inclusive workplace. The course also covers best practices for handling employee discipline and termination.
