Legal Hotline
Why do we have a separate Legal Hotline?
EAF responds to over 500 calls per month on various Human Resources issues. Increasingly, these calls are of a legal and technical nature. Due to the increasing litigation challenges faced by employers, the Association has expanded its Human Resources Hotline to offer a separate legal hotline covering not only labor and employment law, but workers' compensation and immigration, as well. This service will now afford members attorney client privilege protections when discussing the situation or problem.
