If your workforce is aging (like the rest of us), you may need to read the latest of our free articles available on adverse impact claims by employees protected by the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. This article describes regulations which have just been proposed by the EEOC on how an employer can avoid liability if a decision is based on a reasonable factor other than age.
Webinars Available in Your Office
Two new webinars will provide you with information on how to manage HR records, including privacy protections, and additional information on the legal rights of an aging workforce.
Personnel Recordkeeping and Privacy
Do you have every piece of paper ever put in employees’ personnel files? Do you know what you are legally required to keep and how long you must keep it? Do you know what information you can share and what must be kept confidential? This webinar will cover various aspects of personnel recordkeeping and privacy in both the private and public sector. Does include FOIA.
Presenter: Dr. Tina Riley
When: Thurs., March 11, 2010
Employment Laws Affecting the Aging Workforce
As the average age of the workforce in the U.S. rises, issues of age discrimination arise from both the layoff or discharge of employees as well as the provision of benefits. In addition, restrictions on offering or changing benefits under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) will be considered. We also look at the implications of the amendments to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for older employees.
