CNMI’s HR group to discuss EEOC, Cobra
The Society for Human Resource Management has invited Timothy Riera of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Cindy Adams of the U.S. Department of Labor to speak at a special half day meeting.
Riera will discuss current issues with Equal Employment Opportunity such as the definition of an online applicant and will provide updates on the Commission.
Adams will discuss the U.S. Department of Labor’s final changes on the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. These changes will make it easier for employees to understand their rights under COBRA and make it easier for employers to meet their obligation notice.
Both issues being discussed will affect public and private sector employers in the CNMI.
“Join is to learn more about EEOC and COBRA and how they affect your organization,” the group said in a statement.
The meeting will be held at the Charley’s Cabaret, Pacific Islands Club Saipan on July 29, from 8am to 1pm. The cost, including lunch is $35 for SHRM members and $45 for non-SHRM members.
Seating is limited; therefore members and others interested in attending this meeting should contact Shane at 234-1234 ext. 5415 or Andrea at 235-6231 ext. 5122 for reservations. (PR)
