Why are employment law issues such a hot topic?
As our workplaces have changed and become more diverse, the use of the Federal and State laws relating to discrimination, reasonable accommodation and realization have resulted in a good deal of litigation. By and large, most of these laws, when analyzed, require little more than plain common sense. Still, employers need to have an idea about the “dos and don’ts” of the workplace, just as employees need to be aware of the difference between non-justifiable issues that arise in any workplace, and violations of the law which no one has to endure. Again, consultation with a lawyer before there is a problem, or when you think a problem might exist, can save you time, money and aggravation.
