Labor & Employment Law Breakfast Briefing

Don’t Even Think About It!  Avoiding Retaliation Claims
Speaker: Mick Terrell

After a complaint of discrimination is made, management is always faced with the challenge of continuing to demand performance and discipline out of the complaining employee without at the same time engaging, or appearing to engage, in unlawful retaliation. Unlawful retaliation claims are on the rise and can lead to time-consuming litigation and costly judgments. The EEOC and courts continue to make it easier for employees to prevail in retaliation claims. Employers must therefore train their managers and supervisors to identify what constitutes unlawful retaliation in the workplace. With proper training, employers can greatly reduce their risk of unlawful retaliation claims.
