If you missed it yesterday, our annual Scary Stories from the HR Department event was hair-raising and spine-tingling. Attorneys Cindy Effinger and Jason Hollon brought HR managers some frightening developments in employment law, along with practical guidance for a better night’s sleep.

Among the takeaways were:

• Retaliation claims: these claims are more and more prevalent and increasingly unaffected by the validity of the underlying discrimination claim. They can also succeed even if the alleged retaliatory action came after the employer had already made the decision to terminate the employee.

• Reasonable Accommodation: A recent case made the lines very clear – the duty to accommodate begins immediately, even at onboarding.

• Mental Health in the Workplace: Depression is increasingly found to meet the definition of disability for FMLA and ADA purposes, so employers must take these claims seriously and make sure they’re fully documented.

• Social Media: Courts lately seem to take a more sympathetic view towards employers when employee social media content leads to adverse employment actions. The defining feature in many of these victories are clear and strong policies and consistent enforcement. And if the employee makes a video disparaging their employment while in uniform at work, then it’s all the better for the employer.

If scary HR issues are keeping you up at night, contact Cindy Effinger or Jason Hollon, experienced HR attorneys – they’ll help turn workplace nightmares into sweet dreams.
