NonDiscrimination Primer For HR Professionals

There seems to be almost an infinite number of ways in which even the most innocent, wellintentioned remarks, actions, or even inactions can result in disaster. And with todays morass of federal nondiscrimination rules and litigious employees, they often do! This webcast focuses on federal nondiscrimination laws, with an emphasis on how they impact the human resources and benefits function in the workplace. For instance: Is it legal for an employer to refuse to hire a job applicant on the sole basis that the applicant refused to shave off his beard because he is a member of a religion that forbids men to shave their faces? Can an employer take action against an employee who refuses to work on Saturday because she claims her religion forbids work on that day? Two people apply for the same position; one is 52 and the other is 42. Does one of these individuals have greater protection under the discrimination laws? Is it legal for an employee to be denied a promotion because his potential supervisor finds it difficult to understand his accent? An employee complains that fellow employees of the same gender are sexually harassing him. Does Title VII protect him? What action should the employer take if an employee brings in a doctors diagnosis that she has Attention Deficit Disorder and demands that she be provided an assistant to help her become organized in her job? With steep fines and penalties for failure to comply, you want to make sure that you know the rules. Register now to join us for this informative presentation.
