Contract/Employee Labor Law: When is a Worker a Horse Operation Employee?

Webcast speakers include Erika K. Eckley, Staff Attorney at Iowa State University, and Roger A. McEowen, Professor at Iowa State University.

This webinar is part of a free online training program focusing on human resource, liability, and farm safety issues developed by the Equine Business Network. To register for the webinar and shortcourse series, visit: http://myhorseuniversity.com/ebn/.
