Responsible Beverage Sales and Service Training Matters!

Responsible beverage sales and service training (RBS) programs are an important component of a comprehensive strategy to reduce the risk of problems associated with the service and sell of alcohol. These courses focus on the attitudes, knowledge, skills, and practices of persons involved in selling or serving alcoholic beverages. Their primary goal is to prevent sales of alcoholic beverages to underage and intoxicated patrons and reduce the risks of intoxication occurring on the premises. Additionally many jurisdictions offer mitigation benefits if employees are properly trained through an accredited program.

Research has shown that RBS training is an important and effective tool in preventing alcohol problems at the community level.

Visional Inc is an accredited provider of online training for alcohol responsibility. Call today for more information. 877.369.1212

Over the past year, Congress and state legislatures have been busy enacting laws that directly affect your employee handbook. If you aren’t keeping up, you could find yourself in court.
If your employee handbook hasn't been updated in the past six months, it's out of date. For example:
• Is your at-will statement an invitation to a massive NLRA lawsuit (based on the surprising NLRB ruling)?
• Did you know that you can no longer prohibit discussions on pay and benefits?
• Do you have clear rules on overtime and off-the-clock work?
• Have you updated all your social media policies in light of recent rulings on Facebook and Twitter?
• Have you updated your leave policies to include time off for employees with relatives in the military … or to prohibit moonlighting while on FMLA leave?
• Are your benefit policies updated to leave no doubt that health insurance may be changed or eliminated at the company's discretion?

Your employee handbook can be an invaluable organizational tool … or an employment lawsuit waiting to happen.

Moving your employee handbook online is an efficient and effective way to ensure that your employee handbook is current, state specific and that employee acknowledgements are recorded and tracked in one location

Remember, laws do change and one size does not fit all. An online employee handbook is one way to help guard against employee lawsuits.
