Part 2 of our Employee Rights Series, Chuck and John dive further into how understanding employee rights can not only help your company avoid legal troubles but also improve employee retention.

In one case, Amazon had exposed their employees to ergonomic hazards on an ongoing basis. When a situation like this is realized by an employee, what steps would need to take place to correct it? In another story, the team will discuss age discrimination in the application process and whether consequences for statements are a violation of the First Amendment or not.

Join the team as they talk about these situations and several more!

In the HR News segment, the team touches on the following topics and more:

• Google learning a lesson in overtime pay (https://www.hrdive.com/news/google-overtime-class-action-8-million/690565/)
• A minor injured while working with equipment prohibited under child labor laws
• Remote worker productivity
• iTutor’s recruiting screening process filtering out applicants over the age of 60
• Tailoring schedules to productivity peaks

The viewpoints expressed by the characters in the stories are not necessarily that of The Team at HR Stories. The stories are shared to present various, real-world scenarios and share how they were handled by policy and, at times, law. Chuck and John are not lawyers and always recommend working with an employment lawyer to address concerns.
