Taking Care of Business – Best Practices for Hiring & Managing Onsite Support Staff

Class Time: 2:00-3:00pm

Class Room: Sun Down

Class Description:

Employment law has some very interesting ties to community association managers and associations. In mountain communities, and even in metropolitan areas, associations and management companies face interesting issues in how to staff on-site employees, oversee these employee’s duties, and manage the relationship between a board of directors and these employees. These practices create certain risk. What you don’t know can hurt you.

In this highly interactive program, presenter Wes Wollenweber will use real life common scenarios to examine best practices for managers and associations related to legal issues surrounding the sharing of staff employees, as well as best practices in hiring and supervising practices. This program will identify the legal exposure associations and management companies alike face from these common practices and provide guidance on how to better handle oversight of onsite staff.

Water Damage and Common Interest Communities aka the Trickle Down Theory

Class Time: 2:00-3:00pm

Class Room: Sun Up

Class Description:

A key area for planning and prevention in Common Interest Communities is the interplay between maintenance and insurance obligations and navigation of a damage event. It is critical for effective community governance to ascertain how the governing documents allocate maintenance, repair and insurance obligations in order to establish a step by step process to address damage events tailored to meet the requirements of the community governing documents. This process can identify areas within the governing documents that warrant revision or amendment to align the required processes with how the community desires to operate and to reduce liability exposure. The “Trickle Down Theory” will walk you through a hypothetical water damage event, providing a step by step process on how to prepare for and address damage events by identifying and applying the relevant requirements of existing governing documents along with guidance on when it may be appropriate to amend the governing documents to align with desired community practices.
