The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission appears poised to scrap guidance governing employers' use of workers' arrest and conviction records in employment decisions, but attorneys say that won't eliminate legal risks for companies that seek information about workers' or applicants' criminal histories. Here, attorneys discuss three things to keep in mind.
A California appeals court has partially reopened a former employee's suit alleging that Northrop Grumman illegally issued multiple wage statements per pay period to some of its workers, ruling that a trial court must decide if the company's actions were in good faith before it can award damages.
A New Hampshire federal judge declined to dismiss a U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission lawsuit alleging a Coca-Cola bottling company bucked federal antidiscrimination law by holding a women-only corporate event, unpersuaded by the company's argument that the excluded male workers hadn't endured sufficient injury to warrant a lawsuit.
