HUMAN RESOURCES training AGENDA

An analysis of thousands of haunted attractions' websites in the United States reveals the following about many of them:

• Haunts are violating multiple federal and state laws by asking inappropriate application questions
• Haunts are misclassifying their staff's employment status
• Haunt handbooks, interview questions and release forms are poorly worded and illegal in many cases
• Haunts lack job descriptions for their actors, managers or makeup artists
• Haunts use copyrighted iconic characters without obtaining proper licensing rights

This 90 minute course covers all of the HR-related tasks and forms that haunted attractions need to manage and can help keep you compliant with federal and state regulations.

This course can be conducted online or in-person.

Do you know what questions you legally can and cannot ask on a job application?

So you don't hire or you fire someone based on the results of a background check. Do you know what information and forms you are obligated to provide them?

When are you legally permitted to ask if someone is allergic to fog or latex?

Do you know what the 7 criteria questions are for determining your staff's employment classification?  

Seasonal amusements (haunts) are typically exempt, but are you sure that your haunt is?

Do you have published job descriptions for all the positions at your haunt? Do you know the 13 elements that make up a great job description? 

Have all of your actors and make-up artists signed release forms for use of their likeness and/or work?

Is your haunt dressing your actors as iconic horror characters? You'd paid the licensing fees, right?
