A seminar series focusing on human resource issues will continue this fall at the California Agricultural Technology Institute (CATI), located on the campus of California State University, Fresno. The first of two remaining seminars in the series is "Legal and Practical Do’s and Don’ts of Management," scheduled for October 29.

The seminar will provide legal and practical information that managers, owners and supervisors can use in handling the various challenges they face in the workplace. Specific issues to be covered include discipline and discharge, handling employee complaints, conflict resolution, procedures to limit liability, and basic rules in making decisions about employees. The speaker will be attorney Michael C. Saqui, partner with the labor law firm of Barsamian and Saqui. The time is 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. in the CATI conference room.

Scheduled from 10 a.m. to noon, this seminar will cover performance appraisal of employees, addressing questions such as who should do the appraisal; how the appraisal interview should be conducted; what the behavioral and legal considerations are; and how performance appraisal forms should be reviewed.

The speaker will be Bert Mason, director of CATI’s Center for Agricultural Business (CAB) and professor of agricultural economics at Fresno State.
