  • That's the typical "take zero risk" legal response. There is a risk to everything and my research said that so long as we stayed away from addressing group concerns we would be OK. There is a fine line of course, but I think that the risk of that …
  • As usual, it depends on the culture of the organization, or in the case of my former employer the staff council (elected non-exempt employees) was a way of making a group who had been working in an abusive work environment feel like they had a voice…
  • They won't feel any better when the committee is made up primarily of managers.
  • Call the trucking company and ask for a new driver, or don't let the driver stay in your parking lot. You can't control who sues who, but your personal risk is very (repeat a dozen times) very small.

  • Correct!!!!!!!
  • Look at it as a risk issue. The risk of losing a lawsuit for a one year employee is minimal, especially if you have, or would, dismiss someone else in similar circumstances. If there is a lawsuit it will be a pregnancy one and you will have to dem…
