HR Hero Audio Conference on CD Even though the live seminar on this topic has already taken place, you can still hear it! For your convenience, we've recorded it on CD, so you can listen when you have time or share it with colleagues in your organization.
Pregnancy discrimination claims are skyrocketing. In fact, last year over 4,400 charges were filed with the EEOC, a record. And over $11 million was paid out to wronged workers, an increase of 300% since 1992. Why? More women in the workforce and greater employee awareness of rights, some speculate. But regardless of the reasons, it's time to review your pregnancy policies and take steps to avoid becoming a statistic. Learn all about the very latest in pregnancy discrimination when you partipate in the 90-minute audio conference, Managing Pregnant Employees: Sidestep ADA, FMLA, and PDA Pitfalls. =============================================== The law sounds simple – you're prohibited from treating pregnant employees differently than other employees with temporary restrictions – but what are the red flags you need to watch for? What situations seem to be gray areas? Why are claims and settlements on the rise? In short, what must you know to protect your organization? Media reports show that discrimination claims are coming from women at all levels of employment, and claims are being made against all kinds of employers. You must have a full understanding of employee rights in this area to reduce the likelihood that you'll have to pay out big sums on claims.
And, of course, you'll get a complete review of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, including rules on making employment decisions and restricting duties based on pregnancy, and a review of recent cases.
