Welcome to another Listener Q&A with The Team at HR Stories! Today's episode goes into these questions:

  1. We’re having trouble with a background check on a 15 year old intern. Is this even required?
  2. An employee verbally assaulted a new employee and she claims her autoimmune disease causes her to not think clearly and not act herself. What do you do in this situation?
  3. Are we legally required to provide medical benefits to our paid interns whose assignment is shorter than 3 months?
