The Anatomy of Hiring and Firing - Examining Real Employment Decisions
Join us in person on Thursday, August 17th, as we work through employment decisions faced by employers. We will discuss each decision that lead the employer down the path towards litigation and analyze where they went right … or wrong.
Situations that we will review include:
Poor employee review due to traits that might be associated with autism.
Terminating an employee for private social media posts.
Employee “nick-names” such as “half-dead Dave” and “work mom.”
Inquiring about plans involving having children or returning from maternity leave.
Offering an employee improvement plan to an employee, after the supervisor said she “just wants to divorce” the employee.
Firing a male supervisor but retaining the female employee for having an affair.
Hiring an employee into an entry level position if the employee has a master's degree and five plus years of experience.
Maintaining hiring requirements that involve gender as a bona fide occupational qualification.
We will cover these and other complex employment issues.
Inaccurate time entries, whether intentional or not, can tie up time and resources—ultimately affecting your bottom line. With isolved Time and Labor Management, ensure accurate payroll and compliance while efficiently managing time, labor, and attendance across your entire workforce—even employees who are remote or on the go.
The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) changed the landscape for employers and employees. This law now requires an employer to reasonably accommodate employees who experience pregnancy-related complications. Following on the heels of this law, the EEOC has issued proposed regulations to support and achieve the purpose of the PWFA. These regulations include features that may surprise some employers – including the temporary suspension of essential job functions, greater enforcement of lactation requirements and covering issues related to abortion, menstruation, and miscarriage. Join us on September 14, 2023 at 11 a.m., as we discuss the EEOC’s proposed expansion as to what conditions and circumstances qualify for accommodations under the PWFA.

Does a leave of absence ever end? When should it start? What’s a good policy? What paperwork do I need to document the employee’s need for leave? What if I’m an FMLA employer? What if I’m too small for FMLA? What if I’m covered by more than one leave law? When exactly does the ADA kick in? What if the leave is due to workers’ comp.? Can I require the employee to take PTO?

As the year ends, it's time for a year in review! We will cover the major court decisions this year that impacted all employers, including the Supreme Court decisions regarding the FLSA, religious accommodations, and DEI efforts. We will also review critical legislation ranging from the Speak Out Act to the Pregnant Workers’ Fairness Act. In addition, we will cover agency rule-making that is likely to become final in 2024. As we close out 2023, we will also look forward to 2024 and the likely labor and employment developments that we can expect ranging from legislation to pending Supreme Court decisions, involving ADA “testers,” discrimination and the limitation of power with respect to government agencies. Join us on December 14 at 11 a.m. to discuss these topics.
As we go into an election year, various Federal agencies are making the push to implement certain long-standing items on their regulatory agendas. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is looking to continue to strengthen its position that most workers are employees and not independent contractors. To this end, the DOL is proposing streamlined regulations to “test” whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor. Similarly, the DOL is working to implement the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. The Federal Trade Commission is working to eliminate most noncompete agreements by regulatory mandate. While the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is looking to strengthen its position with respect to recruiting and AI and potential discriminatory implications involving this new technology. Simultaneously, the EEOC continues its enforcement initiatives involving underserved communities and potential barriers to the advancement of certain protected classes.
