RLA Learning and Conference Center

850 Cranberry Woods Drive

Cranberry Township, PA 16066


Presenters: Paul N. Lalley, Esquire and Jonathan F. Whalen, Esquire

Topic Overview:

Managing Difficult Employees - You all know the one! The employee who pushes the envelope ever so slightly and all too frequently. A poor attitude; negative comments; constant though minor rule infractions and the direct supervisor that has difficulty seeing the impact that it has on the rest of the employees.

Topic Overview:

Tackling Your Toughest Police Department Problems - Managing Police Departments has become much more challenging due to manpower shortages in light of recruiting difficulties and increased retirements during an era of increased scrutiny of police overlaid with compliance with Acts 57 and 59, dealing with Heart and Lung abuse scandals and resulting officers out of work and increased filing of workers' compensation and disability pension claims.

Though 2020 may be behind us, employers in 2021 will continue to confront issues presented by the Covid-19 pandemic due to the high infection rate, Commonwealth mitigation orders still in effect, and the slow roll out of vaccines. Municipalities must consider how to handle the availability of vaccines and the benefits, risks, and unknowns of requiring or encouraging a vaccinated workforce. Join attorneys Pat Harvey and Josh Hausman to discuss whether you can and whether you should mandate vaccines, whether you can require employees to document vaccinations, and how to handle religious and ADA accommodation requests, along with a discussion of Covid-19 related leave issues which are expected to continue throughout 2021.

Presented by Patrick J. Harvey, Esq. & Josh C. Hausman, Esq.
