Ethics & Code of Conduct (Sarbanes Oxley)
Sarbanes-Oxley addresses a wide range of topics, including corporate-governance practices, ethics, executive compensation and financial disclosures. Its principal impacts are to (1) impose new obligations on corporate officers and directors, and (2) increase the scope and severity of the penalties that may be imposed on public companies and their officers and auditors for violations of federal securities laws. Training requirements are currently mandated by Sarbanes-Oxley and the recent amendments to the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. Public companies are required to disclose their ethics policy and typically train on areas such as antitrust, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, discrimination, insider trading and record keeping, & Ethics & Code of Conduct.

FMLA was passed in 1993 to guarantee employees of companies with more than 50 employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave annually for certain medical reasons or for the birth or adoption of a child. Generally, employers must maintain insurance coverage for employees who are on FMLA leave and must reinstate them to the same or equivalent job positions when their leave concludes. Failing to abide by the provisions of the FMLA can expose a company to legal liability.
