Or what it takes to present and manage these options for your township team? Contrary to common belief, townships are not exempt from many of the same employment laws that govern the private sector. This webinar will help you understand your responsibilities, avoid common pitfalls, and ensure your township remains compliant and competitive.

Whether you’re new to the field or looking to refine your skills, you’ll gain practical tips on improving efficiency, ensuring compliance, and safeguarding your township’s records all in just one hour!
