"This was really helpful! Please consider a Part II."

"Let’s do a part 2. This would be great. Especially a Q &A session."

"I very much appreciated the help offered at the webinar today, and I would support the idea of having another session!"

Program, Organization and Administration: Proven Policies and Expert Advice

Meeting

Providers working in child care and early learning programs want the best possible outcomes for the children and families they serve. Research indicates that qualified staff is a key component in developing a quality care and early learning environment and meeting STARS standards

However, there can be legal, wage and hour and policy implications for your program and your staff. Program owners and administrators need to be knowledgeable on legal, personnel policy and tax issues that may arise when meeting regulatory training requirements and professional development goals for quality improvement.
 
This forum is designed to provide the information you need so you can enhance employees' professional development, and assess program policies while developing strategies to reduce risk to your program or organization.

As an attendee, you will:

  • Gain up to date information on wage and hour issues
  • Understand the difference between exempt and non-exempt staff and payroll implications
  • Learn what constitutes “time worked” in a variety of situations
  • Explore the options for overtime vs. comp time
  • See how staff work schedules factor into the equation

Network with your colleagues at lunch about other personnel topics such as drug testing and reimbursement strategies, paid time off policies (i.e. how much vacation time, sick time, personal time) and your hot issue of the day!
