Workplace Law

After learning the foundations of law in business from business law 1 and 2 workplace law provides you with actual statutes and applications of legally navigating the relationship between employer and employee. This course is useful to anyone but is invaluable to someone seeking to start their own business and scale. Law is especially hard to navigate and learn on your own so developing a foundation is critical.

Law Topics- Choosing those most directly applicable to use with some minor context and theory

Practical suggestions- 

-Keep good records week by week

-Have a filing system

-Look at your IRS transcripts

-Even if you don't owe money, don't file multiple years late,

because then you have to pay to download that year's software

and you have to file by mail.
