WV Employer Webinar Series: When Your Policies Create Liability You Didn’t Intend

Workplace policies are meant to reduce risk — but in some cases, they can unintentionally increase it.

In this webinar, Christine Ashton and Daniel Condon, both partners with Wilson Vukelich LLP, will discuss how well-intentioned policies may create obligations beyond what the law requires. Topics will include:

• Progressive discipline language that limits employer flexibility
• Alcohol and drug policies and the definition of impairment
• Human rights and investigation commitments that go too far
• Overtime language that creates unintended exposure
• Drafting strategies that preserve discretion

This session is designed for employers reviewing or updating their workplace policies who want to ensure their documentation protects — rather than expands — their legal risk.
