With the widespread economic pressures, banks are also confronting new security and legal issues associated with employee financial struggles.  This session will involve an up-to-date discussion concerning the state and federal legal standards which impact how banks address employee financial challenges such as bankruptcy filings, garnishment orders, foreclosures on property, and returned checks.  We will also examine the legal standards which impact how banks handle suspected employee misappropriation and violation of bank policy, in cases of financial irregularities.  Finally, Steve will discuss pre-employment measures the regulators expect banks will install, to minimize the likelihood that employees will engage in financial wrongdoing.
