Navigating employee benefits in the public sector can be tricky—but it doesn’t have to be. Do you know the differences between fringe, health, and retirement benefits? 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.
Join us as we review essential strategies for organizing, storing, and maintaining records effectively. 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!
