Off-Duty Employee Conduct: Employer Obligations when Personal Lives Come to Work
$100.00
Session Description
| Employees engage in a variety of “off duty” activities that may create implications and risks for their employers. These include political activities and protests, social media posts, cannabis use, criminal conduct, and various lifestyle decisions. Employers who become associated with this conduct through their employees may have obligations or face restrictions, depending on the situation and jurisdiction. This session will explore real-world scenarios and the potential legal ramifications for employers, including what rights and obligations they have to take responsive action—whether that means employee discipline, terminating employment, a public relations response, or doing nothing because the employee’s conduct is protected by law. The session will also provide insights into policy options companies can adopt to minimize impact and reduce the risk of litigation. |

| -Learn about the interplay between off-duty conduct and various workplace policies which may apply even outside the workplace
