What courses do I need for Human Resources or BSA?
I am currently employed with a company that offers a wide variety of courses, and I would like to get a head start on taking some courses for Human Resources or a BSA, these courses are online and they do not have a category, you just need to search for them. I'm wondering what course suggestions could I search for to see if they are available to take so I can get a step forward in becoming a human resource representative or a BSA.. not necessarily in this building, but I do plan on taking an official college course or uni course on them , but I would like to know what is involved in both fields before I decide. I figure taking some courses on it, will help me decide on which would be the better path for me. Thanks :-)

If an employee is named in a lawsuit is the employer required to provide legal representation? Why or why not
If an employee is named in a lawsuit is the employer required to provide legal representation? Why or why not?
I am taking a Human Resources course for my BS. Through experience I'm thinking the answer is no, however I don't have any supporting documents or reason for my answer (guestimation).

If the company and the individual are both named the individual will be better off with separate counsel, The company is paying his bill and they will throw you under the bus, your atty is supposed to pull you out of the way.

Under a great many circumstances, in which both the employer and the employee are named as defendants, the two will share sufficient interests that they can be represented by the same counsel. There are advantages and disadvantages to doing it this way, but I wouldn't be too worried as the employee in this circumstance. By representing me, the lawyer is required to serve my interests. If my interests diverge from the employer's, then the lawyer will send me off to another lawyer. Even where their interests are different, it's usually *good practice* for the employer to cover all or most of the employee's legal fees. However, there's nothing obligatory about it. Sometimes, where the employee's conduct is not beyond reproach and brought unnecessary litigation down upon the employer, the employer will only cover a percentage of the employee's legal fees. Covering 90% of a $10,000 legal bill can still leave the employee with a significant financial burden arising from their conduct. It probably happens that the employee gets left holding the entire tab for his own legals. However, I've never seen it in an action primarily against the employer.

It depends. If the employee was sued while performing his official functions or duties then the employer should provide legal representation. The employer would be held responsible, in whole or in part, to the employee's act since it was in pursuance of his duties.

Do You mean a Human Resources Specialist? Work Environment for a HRS: Human resources specialists and generalists work for all kinds of businesses and organizations including accounting firms, hospitals, zoos, banks, department stores, and governments. They have a lot of contact with others both inside and outside of the organization. In a large organization that employs specialists in different areas, they work as part of a team with other human resources staff. Whether they work for a large or small organization, they must interact with all levels of staff and management. As well, they frequently have contact with people outside their companies, such as lawyers, government employees, and employment agency representatives. Both human resources specialists and generalists spend most of their time in offices. They may have to travel to attend conferences and training courses. They may also travel to other branches and offices of their organization. Human resources professionals tend to work 8 to 10-hour days, 40 to 50 hours a week. However, some practitioners, including those who hold supervisory positions in management, work longer hours during the week and occasionally on weekends. Education & Training: If you want to work as a human resources professional, you will need to first complete a high school diploma, and then obtain post-secondary education in the field. Colleges across the country offer associate and bachelor’s degree programs in human resources and related areas. It usually takes 2 years to complete an associate degree, and 4 years for a bachelor’s degree. The type of degree needed depends on the position and employer. Some employers will consider applicants with either an associate or a bachelor’s degree. However, a bachelor’s degree is generally preferred and larger companies may require it. Relevant degree programs include human resources administration or management, personnel, industrial, and labor relations, training and development, and compensation and benefits. Some employers look for college graduates with a technical or business background. A master's degree in human resources, labor relations, or in business administration with a concentration in human resources management is highly recommended for those seeking management positions. A master’s degree usually takes 2 years to complete. Suggested Qualifications: Some organizations offer certification programs, which are signs of competence and can help you to advance in the field. Human resources specialists and generalists must be excellent communicators, as they communicate with all levels of staff and management. They should be hard-working, well-organized, and able to work well under pressure. Networking is often the key to finding a job in human resources. If you know a human resources practitioner, ask him or her if there are any opportunities for you. Income: Annual salary rates for human resources workers vary according to their education, level of experience, and the type of work they perform. The location and size of the firm are also factors. Entry-level salaries for human resources practitioners range from about $27,000 to $41,000 a year. The national median income for people in this field is somewhere between $44,000 and $54,000 a year, depending on the area of specialization. However, senior specialists can earn $90,000 a year or more. Human resources managers usually make somewhere between $46,000 and $120,000 a year, although senior managers may earn more. Human resources vice-presidents who work with top management earn the highest salaries, ranging over $150,000 a year. People in this profession typically receive benefits, such as health coverage, paid vacation and sick days, and contributions to retirement plans.

This may sound dumb but, should I major in Sociology or H.R. if I want to be a Human Resource Manager
This may sound dumb but, should I major in Sociology or H.R. if I want to be a Human Resource Manager?
I'm really passionate about the courses found in a sociology major. However, I'm not sure if this degree will help me get a job in human resources...do you think a more career-specific major (i.e. Human Resource Management) is better? I'm afraid that I'm weak at calculus portions of the business major (which is why I consider sociology).

If you posess a degree - or any other qualification - then you'll already be ahead of the masses when it comes to hunting for jobs. My pal has a degree and he wasn't certain what direction to go with it, but he unearthed some good instruction on the website in the resource box below which aided him to decide that he wanted to be a lab assistant. There is a lot of assistance on the website regarding other jobs.

To be a HR Manager you need to do HR. You can choose subjects that suit you more then others but Math is a requirement in all degrees.
3
If I were you, I would major in Business. I received a BBA in Marketing and don't remember having to take Calculus at all for that one. HR wants to be at the table with Senior Management. If that's really the case, you need to be a Business major who likes HR, not the other way around. Hope this helps. Bp
