2024 Wilderness Risk Management Conference

This session will cover the basic employment law issues that will help you further refine or strengthen the foundation of your business' employment practices. We will review legal topics such as at-will employment, policies reflecting workplace harassment and discrimination laws, and the essential policies to include in your employee manual. The goal of this session is to give you enough information to guide your questions and review of your employee manual when you get back home.

Annually, your organization enters a wide range of relationships for services and products. You have a contract that reflects accurately what you have to pay (or be paid), a description of the services or products that will be provided, and a time-frame or duration of the services provided. What else is there and what’s the deal with all of those other terms and conditions you never talked or even thought about? In addition to the essential terms, a primary purpose of any contract is to spell-out risk allocation, or put another way: “who is responsible for the ‘what ifs.’” This presentation will review the important risk allocation terms to ensure that the most significant parts of the relationship have been considered and align with what you thought you were agreeing to.
