THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS
Running a business can be difficult because there is so much to keep track of and rules to follow. Worker’s rights are important, and employers should take the time to familiarize themselves with federal and state employment laws to avoid any mistakes that could result in a workplace violation or civil lawsuit.
Employers have a duty to ensure the rights of their employers are not being violated and ensure no discrimination or harassment is occurring. Most employers take the correct steps by giving their employees detailed discrimination and harassment training, but sometimes training isn’t enough to avoid a hostile work environment. Below are some of the common mistakes Missouri employers make that lead to employment law violations.
Many employers face civil suits because they didn’t take a discrimination or harassment complaint seriously and didn’t address the problem. Employers have an obligation to investigate any claims they receive and take remedial actions when warranted, but too many employers fail to act quickly enough to end a problem before it becomes a major issue.
When hiring a new person, employers need to consider their qualifications and experience, but employers must avoid discriminatory hiring practices. Employers can get into trouble if they if they consciously or unconsciously refuse to a hire a person based on their age, disability, race, sex or religion.
