MRA Employment Law Update

This session covers the various ways under federal, state, and local law that employees can engage in protected activity and best practices for managing it in real time. Employers are regularly surprised by some of the more nuanced ways employees can engage in protected activity under laws like the National Labor Relations Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and Title VII, especially when the complaint seems more about everyday working issues than a purported legal violation. Everyday complaints about pay, pay equity, workplace health and safety, working conditions, and vaccination requirements can constitute protected activity in the right circumstances. Learn to spot the more nuanced ways employees can engage in protected activity as well as strategies for managing this protected activity in real time. Also discussed are strategies for moving forward with necessary employment decisions when an employee previously engaged in unrelated protected activity.
