Recordkeeping is a critical HR function—the right documentation can make or break your defense against employee lawsuits, not to mention fines and penalties from government agencies. But are you sure that your records would protect you in court?

Recordkeeping is a responsibility for which an HR manager isn't likely to win a lot of accolades, but if you don't have it in place and a lawsuit crops up, there's no doubt who will feel the heat. Don't put yourself at risk.

Because this is such an important topic, ERI has brought in an expert speaker—an experienced California employment law attorney—for a 90-minute webinar all about your recordkeeping obligations. Join us and find out how to make your HR files hold up to the toughest scrutiny.

You and Your Colleagues Will Learn:

• What's coming up for 2010—both in California and at the federal level
• The essential set of records that every employer must keep on every employee
• Effective steps you can take to get your supervisors to document correctly

• Pitfalls of electronic documentation that every employer should know
