WEBINAR: Please join us for this presentation on November 11th @ 2:00pm ET (1pm CT, Noon, MT, 11am PT)
Sponsored by: 
Internships have become a rite of passage for college and university students across the United States. Each year hundreds of thousands of employers hire interns. These internships provide students with practical experience and enhance the educational process. The explosion of student internships, closely followed by an equally explosive number of lawsuits brought by interns against their sponsoring companies, however, has created a perilous legal condition for both employers and educational institutions who sponsor or host internship programs.
This exclusive webcast will discuss employment law issues for organizations that host student interns or internship programs. During this presentation we will focus primarily on federal employment law issues, but will provide references to state law where applicable. Furthermore, we will highlight potential issues that organizations should be aware of and how they should structure their internship programs to decrease the potential likelihood for violating federal or state employment laws. Finally, this presentation will examine the conflict among courts and governmental agencies regarding the applicable test to determine whether an intern is, in fact, an employee, eligible to receive the protections afforded him or her under federal, state and local laws.
