Jersey City, NJ (1888PressRelease) August 02, 2017 - The Knowledge Group/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcasts, announced today that it has scheduled a live webcast entitled: Significant Antitrust Issues in Hiring and Compensation: Practical Guide for Employers and HR Professionals.

Event Synopsis:
To help HR professionals ensure that their company’s hiring and compensation practices comply with the antitrust laws, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Justice Antitrust Division (DOJ) have jointly issued a written guidance called, “Antitrust Guidance For Human Resource Professionals.” Issued on October 20, 2016, the guidance also states that individuals and companies found to have violated antitrust laws may be pressed with criminal charges. Therefore, a finding of no-poaching and wage-fixing agreement may result in felony criminal charges against the employers and individuals involved.

In this LIVE Webcast, a notable panel of thought leaders and professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group will provide the audience with an in-depth analysis of the Antitrust Guidance For Human Resource Professionals. Speakers will also present key pointers, legal insights and important issues on the application of antitrust laws to employee hiring and compensation decisions. Most importantly, they will offer best practices on compliance and risk management.

Key topics include:
• The Antitrust Guidance For Human Resource Professionals - Overview
