According to a recent press release from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”), a group of supermarkets operating in the Chicago area recently paid $3.2 million to the EEOC to resolve a disability termination lawsuit. The supermarket group, known as “Jewel-Osco”, was accused of violating the Americans With Disabilities Act (“ADA”) by terminating disabled employees without offering “reasonable accommodations”.
Terminating an employee is perhaps the most unpleasant, yet necessary, task that an employer must carry out. Emotions run high during the process and, depending upon the situation, it may be necessary to repair damage caused by the employee to relationships, productivity and morale.
Depending upon your type of business, student interns can be a big benefit. They can often provide needed help with research or with developing and implementing new programs, products or services.
The federal government has recently renewed its commitment to ensure that employers who classify workers as independent contractors do so properly. Approximately $25 million in additional federal funds have been ear-marked for increased investigations into worker misclassification issues.
