Raleigh, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/30/2011 -- The RTP CFO Forum (rtpcfos.com) will hold its monthly meeting on Friday, April 1, 2011. The organization serves as a peer-to-peer networking and discussion opportunity for more than 200 senior financial executives in the Triangle area. The meeting will focus on employment law and the hazards every CFO should avoid.

Bob Sar, a shareholder with Ogletree Deakins (http://www.ogletreedeakins.com), a national labor and employment firm with six locations in the Carolinas, will discuss the most important employment law difficulties that growing North Carolina businesses frequently encounter.

Topics include:
•Employment contract do’s and don’ts
•The minefields of employee compensation
•Resolving employee medical issues

“High unemployment and a very aggressive government enforcement climate make it very important for C-level executives to put these hot-button issues and trends on their radar screens,” says Brett Farabaugh, Tryton Medical, Inc. CFO and RTP CFO Forum board member.

“Bob represents many of the most successful companies in the state. He has his hand on the pulse of regulatory action and our members will benefit from his insights.”
