Why Should You Attend:
Every employer with more than 20 employees must comply with the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA), which amended the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) in 1991. The requirements of the OWBPA are complex and not well understood, even by experienced in-house counsel and HR professionals - but failure to meet OWBPA requirements creates real legal risks. Learn how to create lawful, enforceable separation agreements that comply with the OWBPA.
In-house counsel and human resources professionals who have the responsibility for individual or group terminations where severance or separation agreements are offered will benefit from the course. Outside counsel who provide advice to affected employers about terminations will also benefit.
Areas Covered in the Webinar:
Purpose and coverage of the OWBPA
Who’s protected and how?
What does the OWBPA require?
Consideration periods and revocation periods
How the OWBPA applies to RIFs
Penalties for failure to comply
Practical pointers for compliance
