HR in the Boardroom

HR in the Boardroom

Many corporate boards include members with vast experience in business management, finance, operations and logistics; rarely do boards have qualified representation from the HR field.  Yet almost every board, at one time or another has to make decisions regarding C-suite employees that are ordinarily left to HR for employees at other levels in the company.  When the Board has to make HR related decisions (hiring, discipline, termination), the same legal issues come into play as with any other employee.  These are often complicated by employment contracts (common to the C-suite) that also have to be taken into consideration.

If your Board is faced with employment issues, it is worth the time and effort to understand the employment law implications of such decision making.  Contact Harvey Law Firm today to schedule a consultation.
