Perform other related duties as assigned.
Provide training for staff on legal procedures, labor law and other subjects.
Draft appropriate contract language.
Provide operational continuity in the absence of the Director of Human Resources, ensuring proper supervision of HR staff, workflow direction, and continuity of investigations.
