FUNDAMENTALS OF SALARY ADMINISTRATION FOR HUMAN RESOURCE PROFESSIONALS

DEMONSTRATING HR VALUE THROUGH THE USE OF EFFECTIVE HR METRICS™

This preparatory course serves as an introduction into the basics of pay. Included will be a general discussion of compensation-related legal issues, job analysis, job evaluation, market analysis, salary ranges, pay for performance, salary management and communication.

In today’s global market human talent constitutes the biggest asset of any organization. Hence, the efficiency level of an organization fundamentally depends on its human capital management (HCM).

With a sound HR metrics program, HR management can make business decisions that are based on cold facts rather than a “gut feeling” and use the exact figures to back up business decisions and support requests for human talent. This class will cover the fundamentals of HR metrics and assist you with the development of such measurements. .6 CEU. Approved for 6 recertification credits.

NEVADA EMPLOYMENT LAW I

STRATEGIC PLANNING I: GETTING STARTED

If you are employed or employ others in the State of Nevada, your employment relationship is subject to two sets of employment laws: the federal government and the State of Nevada. Which laws do you have to follow? Does one set of laws have priority over the other set? As an employer, human resource professional, or business professional how well do you understand the two sets of laws? Do the two sets of laws dictate the same thing? If federal and state laws conflict, which do you follow? Attend the NEVADA EMPLOYMENT LAW series, a multi-part seminar program, and receive the answers to these and many more Nevada employer - employee relationship questions. In Nevada Employment Law I, you will study Nevada Revised Statues, NRS, (no prerequisite required) Title 53-Labor and Industrial Relations, Chapters 607 - 612. Your discussion will focus on: The Nevada Labor Commissioner, Compensation, Wages and Hours, Employment of Minors, Apprenticeships, Employment Agencies and Offices, and Unemployment Compensation. Each participant will receive a detail summary of the Nevada Revised Statutes, Title 53, Chapters 607 - 612 as part of the course material. .6 CEU Pending approval through HRCI.

Great organizations are the “stuff of dreams and hard work!” Success takes more than just luck! Engaging in strategic planning provides a “roadmap” to the future. Do you know where you are going and how you will get there? What will your future look like? This class will help you answer these questions and more. Other topics include defining expectations (both internal & external), performing a SWOT analysis and developing a strategic plan. Approved for six (6) recertification credits through HRCI.

Also discussed is what to do if an otherwise good employee creates conduct issues that are unacceptable. Conduct issues can be anything from the company gossip to the bully. Also provided are tips on compliance issues so that you can steer clear of having the EEOC or other governmental agencies contacting you—avoid those sleepless nights. If you are a small business owner that does not have a professionally trained HR person, this class is for you. .6 CEUs C113CP6128 Roger Bishop Fri. 9am-4pm, Oct. 7 UNLV Paradise Campus (PAR) Room TBD $315 Includes materials, refreshments, light lunch and CEU

GO BACK TO GET AHEAD Cass Palmer President and Chief Executive Officer United Way of Southern Nevada Complex and challenging are just a couple of descriptions for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workplace as you try to do more with less money and fewer employees. It is even more so in the non-profit world. However, the solution is the same â&#x20AC;&#x201C; gaining the right education and training. That is why United Way of Southern Nevada is collaborating with Continuing Education at the UNLV Division of Educational Outreach to offer the community a certificate program in Non-Profit Management. Mobilizing the caring power of Southern Nevadans, United Way works with UNLV to inform the community about this opportunity. Graduates of the Non-Profit Management course learn the dynamics of fundraising and financial oversight, obtaining a strong foundation to work with organizations throughout the Valley to change community conditions.
