To Text or Not To Text: Legal Risks and Options of Texting with Employees

Even before the pandemic, employers were turning to text messages to convey time-sensitive updates, reminders, and other workforce-wide communications.

This half hour webinar will focus on the legal and practical considerations of complying with the TCPA, as well as other considerations related to texting, including wage and hour risks, reimbursement requirements, and data security.
