You only get one chance to make a first impression, so you want to make sure your company avoids unnecessary missteps when recruiting and hiring employees. Understanding what you can and cannot say during interviews and how to respond when a candidate volunteers information that may be considered “off limits” is essential. At the same time, there are a host of laws being passed throughout the country that address when and what sort of information you can request from applicants regarding their criminal and financial histories. In the event you decide to protect your organization by requiring certain employees to sign some type of restrictive covenants—non-competition, non-solicitation and/or non-disclosure—there are a host of legal and practical issues to consider. This webinar explores these and other issues so that you can be confident, going forward, that you are starting off on the right foot—legally, at least—when you hire new employees.

Anti-Kickback Statute: Defense Strategies and Lessons from a Case Defendant a...Conference Panel
This session will provide an overview of the Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS) and its prohibitions, as well as the available safe harbors. It will highlight how AKS violations can raise concerns under the False Claims Act (FCA), and assess the enforcement activities that put participants at risk. Recent cases will be reviewed to illustrate their potential impact on participants.
The presentation will delve into the AKS, focusing on prohibited activities and the exceptions outlined in the Act. Case law, especially early cases that set the foundation for judicial interpretation, will be examined. The session will also explore the "safe harbors," which protect payment practices from criminal prosecution, civil monetary penalties, or exclusion from Medicare and Medicaid programs.
The presentation will recount Mr. Weinbaum's entire ordeal, offering valuable insights, recommendations, and colorful anecdotes. It will address documentation, verbal and written correspondence with physicians and attorneys, disclosure of facts, hospital governing boards and medical staff leadership involvement in financial arrangements, and the potential exposure created by the administrative team's management style.

Marketing Best Practices in Light of the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities...Epstein Becker Green
Presented by Kathryn F. Edgerton (Partner, Nelson Hardiman) and Anjali N.C. Downs (Member, Epstein Becker Green).
While the industry has long recognized the harm and abuse that results from “body brokering” and the improper use of “sober homes,” the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act criminalizes deceptive and misleading marketing practices that may still be used by some SUD providers.
This webinar will discuss the current state of SUD-related marketing activities and will equip well-intentioned SUD providers with the resources to recognize marketing pitfalls, including activities that are now illegal. Your reputation as a provider is an essential asset, and this webinar will help you understand how to effectively market without placing your organization in legal jeopardy.

Watch our free one-hour webinar reviewing the rules for the new Individual Coverage HRA and the new Excepted Benefit HRA (ICHRA and EBHRA).
In June 2019, Treasury, DOL and HHS released final regulations that are effective for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2020. These regulations created two new HRAs, Individual Coverage HRAs (ICHRA) and Excepted Benefit HRAs (EBHRA).
These new HRAs will be subject to ERISA and COBRA, but will not be subject to the nondiscrimination rules under Code Section 105(h). Any employer can offer these new HRAs to their employees. They can be offered to common law employees, but cannot be offered to self-employed individuals, partners and more than 2% S-Corporation shareholders.
Facilitated by ERISA attorney Larry Grudzien, and moderated by Chief Marketing Officer Julia Goebel, this webinar will cover the following:
-Why are these new HRAs so important?
-Which employees can be included or excluded
-What documentation is needed to be completed by employers to adopt them
-What reporting and disclosure requirements must be met
-What types of expenses can be reimbursed
-The pros and cons of establishing and participating in these new HRAs for employers

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

TODAY’S AGENDA
• Don’t Hire a Lawsuit – the “Employee
Acknowledgment” Letter
• If You Are Going to Fight, Fight Early
• Do Your Due Diligence
• Marijuana Policies
• Interoffice Romance Policies
3. Don’t Hire a Lawsuit:
The “Employee Acknowledgment” Letter
8. PAGE
Advantages
• Avoids or mitigates potential claims by a prior employer
for tortious interference with the new employee’s post-
employment obligations to his/her prior employer
• Provides a basis to terminate the new employee if he/she
does not abide by the terms of the Employee
Acknowledgment
• Gives direction to both the new employee and his/her
supervisor(s) regarding the scope of (and possible
restrictions on) the new employee’s job duties and
responsibilities
11. PAGE
Advantages
• Provides a much faster and far less expensive means of
seeking guidance from a court at or near the time of hiring a
new employee if/when an old employer wants to threaten
litigation, including the possibility of injunctive relief
• Avoids the likelihood of protracted – and very expensive –
electronic discovery efforts and also limits potential damages
• Creates an opportunity to recover attorneys’ fees under §15.51
of the Texas Business and Commerce Code (Procedures and
Remedies in Actions to Enforce Covenants Not to Compete)
12. PAGE
Texas Business and Commerce Code § 15.51
Procedures and Remedies in Actions to
Enforce Covenants Not to Compete:
If the primary purpose of the agreement to which the covenant is ancillary is to
obligate the promisor to render personal services, the promisor establishes that
the promisee knew at the time of the execution of the agreement that the
covenant did not contain limitations as to time, geographical area, and scope of
activity to be restrained that were reasonable and the limitations imposed a
greater restraint than necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interest
of the promisee, and the promisee sought to enforce the covenant to a
greater extent than was necessary to protect the goodwill or other
business interest of the promisee, the court may award the promisor the
costs, including reasonable attorney's fees, actually and reasonably
incurred by the promisor in defending the action to enforce the covenant.
14. PAGE
When hiring a new employee, consider:
• Including a contractual right to review and remove company
information from an employee’s personal devices at the time of
his/her separation from the company
• Expressly addressing ownership of customer contact
information stored in an employee’s outlook or phone contacts
• Adding post-employment contractual obligations that are not
subject to § 15.50, such as:
– A contractual obligation to return company property
(regardless of whether such information is confidential), or
– A severance agreement containing a non-compete

The Patient:
A physician may prescribe low-THC cannabis to a patient if:
• the patient is a permanent resident of the state; and
• the physician certifies to the department that:
– the patient is diagnosed with:
• epilepsy;
• a seizure disorder;
• multiple sclerosis;
• spasticity;
• amyotrophic lateral sclerosis;
• autism;
• terminal cancer; or
• an incurable neurodegenerative disease; and
– the physician determines the risk of the medical use of low-THC cannabis by the
patient is reasonable in light of the potential benefit for the patient.

What about Texas? The Compassionate Use Act
20. PAGE
The Physician:
A physician is qualified to prescribe low-THC cannabis with respect to a patient's particular
medical condition if the physician:
• is board certified in a medical specialty relevant to the treatment of the patient's
particular medical condition; and
• dedicates a significant portion of clinical practice to the evaluation and treatment of the
patient's particular medical condition.
However, the Compassionate Use Act does not contain any employment protection
for qualified patients that would restrict an employer’s ability to discipline or
terminate an employee who tests positive for marijuana.

Does an employer have to allow for the use of medicinal
marijuana to comply with the reasonable accommodation
requirements of the ADA?
• Most people who have a prescription for medical marijuana
have a disability that is protected under the ADA.
– Cancer;
– Glaucoma;
– HIV;
– Hepatitis C;
– Crohn’s disease;
– Alzheimer's.
21
Reasonable Accommodation under the ADA?
22. PAGE
The ADA does not require that an employer accommodate by
allowing use of medicinal marijuana.
• Courts that have directly addressed whether the ADA itself
requires permission to use medical marijuana as a reasonable
accommodation have all found that the ADA does not mandate
that employer allow for the use of an illegal substance as a
reasonable accommodation for a disability.
• Because even medicinal marijuana is an illegal substance under
the Controlled Substances Act, accommodation is not required
under the ADA.
22
Reasonable Accommodation under the ADA?
23. PAGE
If it is not a required accommodation under the ADA, what do
state disability discrimination laws say?
• 33 states and the District of Columbia have medicinal
marijuana statutes;
• Most state statutes regarding medicinal marijuana do not
address whether allowing medicinal marijuana use must be
considered as a reasonable accommodation;
• Because most state disability discrimination and
accommodation statutes are modeled after the ADA, most state
statutes do not require accommodation for medicinal
marijuana;
• Some of the statutes provide protections to medicinal marijuana
card holders and protections from adverse employment action.
23
What About the States?
24. PAGE
• If you have an employee with a medicinal marijuana
prescription, the employer likely does not have to
accommodate by allowing for use of medicinal marijuana.
• But, the employer should be careful before terminating or
taking adverse action because state statutes may provide
protections.
• Likely that even more change is ahead with medical marijuana
becoming more socially acceptable.
