Risk Management is one of the many services offered by the Mississippi Association of Supervisors Insurance Trust (MASIT) to its members.
Training
MASIT will be conducting regional Risk Management Risk Management training in the areas of law enforcement and employment practices which will be very important in helping your employees, and therefore this program, reduce risks and losses in highly litigious areas of liability.
Dates and locations for upcoming workshops will be announced here and member counties will be notified.
We understand the time constraints your crews are under, for that reason we will plan safety training around your schedule. One of our goals is to provide informative and educational training that is relevant to the work you perform every day. In a broader view, MASIT’s goal is also to lower the county’s liability exposure with your road workers and the public and reducing employees’ personal risk.
HR Hotline and Employment Practices Services
Template Employee Handbook Policies
MASIT has partnered with experienced employment practices attorneys to offer best practice member employee handbook policies. Contact Renada Skannal at 601.487.0652 for more information.
MASIT HR Hotline
Offering valuable member services provides a benefit to both the Trust and our members, and for this reason we are thrilled to offer our HR Hotline.
The HR Hotline is a legal resource that assists members with time-sensitive employment-related questions by facilitating access to employment attorneys via phone, email and chat using an online portal. Responses are provided in writing, often with a 24-hour or less turnaround time. The HR Hotline is available Monday through Friday from 7:30 am until 6:30 pm.
There is a great deal of value in documenting employment related decision-making. Current trends have demonstrated that regulators and plaintiff attorneys are increasingly focused on the process leading to a decision rather than just the decision itself.
The HR Hotline is offered on a voluntary basis and is intended to supplement and not replace the legal advice of your Board Attorney and/or your HR Department. The HR Hotline is yet another layer of protection for your county.
