You Guys Just Figure It Out

Equal Employment (from It's the Law™)
Modern day federal equal employment laws began with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and amendments to it and interpretations by the courts. It’s important to understand that sex discrimination law protects persons of all sexes, gender identities, and sexual orientations-including cisgendered men and heterosexuals. Also, race discrimination law protects persons of all races, including Caucasians. Basically, almost every applicant, employee, or former employee is now protected from discrimination because of their membership in groups protected by law.

Understanding Retaliation (from It's the Law™)

Illegal Harassment (from It's the Law™)
Harassment is conduct motivated by a protected characteristic, that’s unwelcome, and severe or pervasive, and that unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment. That’s a mouthful, but it’s really not that hard to spot hostile environment harassment. For instance, when someone creates an uncomfortable work environment for another employee by always referring to them as “dinosaur,” “the old guy,” “grandpa,” or “Boomer,” it can be considered a form of illegal harassment. And it's a manager's responsibility to make sure it doesn't happen.

Recruiting & Hiring (from It's the Law™)
When it comes to recruiting and hiring, there's a lot you need to know as a manager - unless of course you want to spend the next the next couple of years working with me to try to justify your actions to a jury. A variety of state, federal, and local laws impact how you recruit, hire, and promote people. The best way to ensure that everything is on the up and up is to make sure that every decision is based on the person's ability to do the job!

Evaluating Performance & Progressive Discipline (from It's the Law™)
Unless an immediate termination is called for because of severe misconduct or major error, most terminations are the culmination of inappropriate conduct, unsatisfactory performance, or poor attendance that have built up over time. Most organizations follow progressive discipline steps in these situations. And progressive discipline is usually required in union collective bargaining agreements. It’s important to be careful, fair, accurate, and consistent when issuing disciplinary or corrective actions—and when evaluating performance.
