Navigating the intricacies of hiring, managing, and ending employment relationships carries considerable risks for any district. Therefore, it’s crucial for trustees and administrators to receive training in these vital areas. Participants in this training, offered by the Unemployment Insurance Program of MTSBA (MTSUIP), will explore effective and legally compliant hiring techniques, the importance of well-defined employment agreements alongside probationary periods for new hires, strategies for boosting employee performance, adherence to progressive discipline and due process standards, and the implications of overtime regulations for staff. This comprehensive training aims to empower participants with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions and minimize potential liabilities.
