Description

Off the clock is not off the hook for employer liability. What is "off the clock" for wage and hours and FMLA purposes? When can customers or the public sue the company and the HR Director personally for employees’ non-paid-time acts? Are you as the employer liable for what a worker did on vacation? Under what circumstances can a minor sue the company for the off-work sexual misconduct of an ex-employee? Can an after-work happy hour be a liability? Can an employer fire a worker (including you) for “private” activities off the job (blogs, chat rooms, social activities)? Where are the lines drawn between an invasion of an employee’s privacy and employer responsibility and liability to the public? This webinar will teach you how employee conduct during “off hours” can result in employer liability. We will also provide effective practice and policy advice your company can adopt to protect itself and its managers from this growing source of liability.

Agenda

The program covers:

  • Working from home -- what is "off the clock" for compensation and other employment related purposes
  • Liability for incidents at company-sponsored social events (harassment and injury claims)
  • Employer responsibility for incidents caused by an employee on vacation or while traveling on company business
  • Off-job interaction with, or crimes against, clients or customers
  • When is a happy hour an official company meeting?
  • Confidentiality of information when it leaves the business premises
  • How an employee's family members can create liability for the employer
  • Principles and practices to avoid liability
