Substitions, Transfers, Cancellations, Refunds

Substitutions, transfers, or cancellations can be made at any time prior to the start of a seminar by contacting our office at 917 818 0133 with the new and replaced person(s) contact information.

Some quick rules: You can receive a full refund if you cancel 30 days or more from the start date of your scheduled seminar, but if you are cancelling your attendance between 14-29 days from the start of the seminar, you will receive a refund minus a 30% fee (we’ve already had to guarantee and pay the hotel for a specific head count, hence the fee). Your registration fee is non-refundable for cancellations made less than two weeks prior to the event; however, you may send a substitute in your place for no additional fee. Those who do not cancel and do not attend are responsible for the full registration fee.

Cancellation fees can be waived at the Company’s discretion if, instead of cancelling, you transfer your registration to another course or date. The waiver of fees is subject to head count at the event and the timing of your request. In other words, if we’ve already pre-paid the hotel and your request costs the Company money, then a cancellation fee will apply. We reserve the right to charge a return fee, especially in cases where you “change your mind” or drop out of a seminar, as we incur costs, including hotel fees and credit card fees to charge and refund your purchase, but if your request can be accommodated without it affecting costs, then no fee will be applied.. Either way, call our office at 917 818 0133 with your situation.

If the Company cancels an event, you can receive a full refund OR a credit to be used for another of our training courses. For instance, we could simply transfer your registration to the same event held in a different city, or to the same event held in the same city but at a later time. Last, the Company is not responsible for any costs or penalties resulting from use of discount or airfares for any ongoing or cancelled events.

If you have any questions, or just wish to discuss your registration, please give us a call a 917 818 0133

(Regular Rate $1795. Register 30 days in advance for Early Bird Rate $1595)

Our Advanced Internal Investigations Certificate Program is an advanced course on internal investigations.

It goes beyond the basic what, why, and how of conducting an internal investigation and focuses – through both lecture and dynamic classroom discussion – on complex legal situations involving Title VII, ADA, anti-discrimination, and other regulatory areas.

You also will learn best practices for investigating FMLA abuse, work-related injuries, workers’ compensation fraud, conflict of interest, and how to work with external resources such as private investigators and law enforcement agencies. Additionally, this course provides contemporary tools, advanced techniques, and best practices for conducting effective investigations that minimize organizational liability and reinforce integrity in internal processes.

Often senior leadership turns to HR for advice and counsel when there are allegations of employee misconduct, but if you don’t know how to handle these issues – both immediately and correctly – it could mean fines, penalties, and expensive litigation. This advanced course is the best investment in upgrading your skills while also minimizing organizational risk.

Key Issues Re Workplace Investigations: Get Answers To Your Investigation Questions

In this two-day workshop consisting of lecture, classroom interactive exercises, and a complex mock investigation, you will develop your skills to become a better investigator – and greatly enhance your career.

By attending this course, you will learn practical tools, tips, and techniques to improve your investigative skills – and boost your confidence in handling sensitive and complex employee issues.

Specifically, you will learn:

  • Steps for responding to – and investigating – a potential Title VII violation
  • How to handle an EEOC charge
  • Methods for identifying and investigating workers compensation and disability fraud
  • How to properly investigate FMLA and other leave abuse cases
  • What to do when you’re notified of a potential violation of anti-discrimination laws
  • Current issues involving the NLRB – and challenges to the investigative process
  • Steps for identifying – and investigating – persons who have the potential for committing an act of workplace violence
  • Best practices for gathering and preserving physical, digital, and documentary evidence
  • Steps for interviewing difficult and hostile witnesses to obtain testimonial evidence
  • Advanced techniques for investigative interviewing
  • Proven procedures for developing, acquiring, and documenting testimonial evidence
  • When – and how – to involve law enforcement in an internal investigation
  • How to prepare a “court ready” investigate report
  • How to handle post-investigative issues, including defending investigative finds in arbitration hearings, unemployment hearings, and insurance claims
  • How to minimize the risks of retaliation and expensive legal claims against the organization
  • Recent court cases: what went wrong, and how you can keep it from happening to you
