You will learn about costs that a sponsor must include in a budget and costs that a site bears in the conduct of clinical research. Why Should You Attend:- Determining an appropriate clinical trial budget to ensure a study can be completed is challenging for both sites and sponsors. Whether you are new to clinical research, or have years of experience, there are 3 areas of expertise you may not have mastered - understanding and outlining costs, negotiating budgets, and complying with criteria (Medicare provisions for determining Qualifying Trials and Routine Care). If not, you may be a site that is underwriting sponsors costs, or you may be a sponsor that is overpaying site costs, and both sites and sponsors may be incorrectly submitting non-qualifying costs to insurers. Learning Objectives:- At the end of this webinar, participants will understand categories of study costs and be able to identity costs that sponsors are expected to cover. Areas Covered in the Seminar:- - Start-Up Costs. - Fixed Costs. - Variable Costs. - Hidden Costs. - Overhead. - Education Tue, 15 May 2012 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.worldconferencecalendar.com/component/option,com_conference/page,show_ad/catid,7/adid,3342/Itemid,26/ This 90-minute webinar will show how to select the best technology and format combination to develop a compliant immunogenicity binding method, and provide a check-list that itemizes all the requirements to develop a compliant validation protocol. Why Should You Attend:- The principal components of a meaningful immunogenicity program consist of an initial binding screen followed by confirmation and quantitation of the positive samples. This 90-minute webinar first reviews the technologies and formats currently in use to detect unwanted immunogenicity. These sections will help the scientist to a priori select the appropriate procedures to specifically meet the needs of their product. The second part of the webinar provides a step by step approach to develop a method that will meet the current validation standards regardless of the technology and format that is utilized. Case studies are cited throughout the webinar to demonstrate the impact of the method on immunogenicity results. Finally, a check-list is supplied to ensure that essential requirements are in place to proceed into validation. - Education Tue, 15 May 2012 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.worldconferencecalendar.com/component/option,com_conference/page,show_ad/catid,7/adid,3296/Itemid,26/ La conference internationale de la langue française est un grand rassemblement auquel tous 200 amoureux de la langue francaise, hommes, femmes, enseignants, répresentant du gouvernement, organisations non gouvernementales, entreprises, individus, universitaires ou tous autres acteurs de la société civile partageront leurs craintes, ambitions, idées et leurs experiences sur la langue francaise.

Description: Union membership is at an all-time low. As a result many companies think the National Labor Relations Act is unimportant to most companies. Unfortunately nothing could be further from the truth. The current National Labor Relations Board is very active in dealing with situations that deal with union and non-union company actions. Much of their activity centers on what is called “protected concerted activity.” These are rights afforded to employees by the National Labor Relations Act regardless of whether an employee is covered by a union contract or not. This has been the case since the law was first passed; however, today there is a modern twist. When the NLRA was enacted in 1935 no one could conceive of the phenomenon of social media. Yet today the NLRB is ruling on Facebook posts as acts of protected activity. - Education Tue, 27 Mar 2012 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.worldconferencecalendar.com/component/option,com_conference/page,show_ad/catid,7/adid,3100/Itemid,26/ This webinar on handling supplemental pay will help you ensure that your supplemental pay practices are in compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act. It will review in detail all areas of supplemental pay. Description Today's wage and hour environment has become one filled with peril for employers who do not understand how to deal with the Fair Labor Standards Act. The US Department of Labor has stepped up its enforcement efforts by adding investigators, forming an alliance with the American Bar Association in order to refer cases and creating a smart phone application that allows your employees to report their time directly to the USDOL. Wage and hour lawsuits are costing employers into the multi-millions of dollars. Most companies have a basic understanding of how to deal with wages, however, often issues arise when dealing with supplemental pay. This session will help you understand areas such as when employees have to be paid to get dressed and undressed; when you have to pay them to be on an airplane and when you don’t; what breaks need to be paid and what breaks don’t need to be paid; why you have to pay for breastfeeding; and other areas of supplemental pay. Reduce your chances of being investigated by making sure you pay practices are in compliance. - Education Tue, 27 Mar 2012 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.worldconferencecalendar.com/component/option,com_conference/page,show_ad/catid,7/adid,3099/Itemid,26/ This webinar will help you to quickly recognize complex and litigation prone HR compliance issues.
