“Social Media Policies for the Astute Employer: Managing the Explosion!”
Presented by:
Attorney, Brian G. Formella – Partner with the Anderson O’Brien Law Firm
Whether it is Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or any other so-called social media e-forum, there is an explosion in the use of such sites within the last 5 years. Public and private sector employers need to be aware of how recent federal rulings concerning an employer’s efforts to regulate social media usage by employees may be contrary to state or federal law.
At this X-Change participants will hear about these key points:
1. Why is it important for an employer to consider drafting a social media usage policy?
2. Federal and State laws that impact social media polices.
3. When is too much information about a job candidate “too much”?
About our speaker… Brian Formella graduated from Marquette University with B.A. degrees in English and Economics and from Marquette University Law School with honors. After graduating, he was a Law Clerk to Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Louis J. Ceci. His areas of practice include employment and labor law, municipal law, environmental law, real estate and general business law. Brian has a strong legal background in employment, labor and municipal law. He works with employers to establish sound employment practices. He has also aggressively defended employers against discrimination accusations.
