| 60 Minute Workshop | Live And On-Demand Updates Impacting How Employers Terminate Protected-Class Employees Thursday, October 15th 1 PM EST The growing number of federal, state, and local laws that broaden the definitions of protected-class employees pose a significant threat to at-will employment.
This includes Title VII, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, the Equal Pay Act, and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act.
And just this past June, the Supreme Court expanded Title VII's coverage to sexual orientation and sexual preference discrimination.
Staying updated on these protected classes is crucial to your risk management/litigation avoidance program.
Join us on Thursday, October 15th for a workshop that will help you fully understand the long list of policies that protect employees from termination - and give you the tools you need to lawfully terminate employees who are in a protected class.
You'll leave this workshop knowing:
What is - and isn't - a protected class under American employment law
How to use arbitration and mediation agreements effectively as shields against discrimination suits
How to draft an enforceable severance and release agreement that won't come back to haunt you
What's left of the employment-at-will doctrine and how can it be used to the employer's advantage
