About This IAML AudioPro ConferenceSM:
This audio conference will arm participants with a thorough understanding of the most important decisions from the highest court in the land - and what they need to do to protect themselves from legal liability. With each ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court is permanently shaping federal employment law principles. This presentation will examine the key employment law decisions from the last several terms, with more than just a summary of the holding. The facts of each case, the Court's rationale, the long run implications and, most importantly, how the decision will impact the employer community will be thoroughly analyzed in an interesting and entertaining fashion.

Key topics to be discussed include:

  • Employers score a key victory in pay bias ruling issued in May - but risks remain;
  • The high court's view on workplace discrimination across the spectrum - from race to age to gender - and what the Justices are telling you to do to avoid liability;
  • Sexual harassment - "tangible employment action" defined and the ever-important advantage of the Court's rulings;
  • The Supreme Court's latest wage and hour ruling - which may have only created more risks that you need to be prepared for;
  • What is an "adverse action" in the retaliation context - employers have been waiting a long time to get clarification in this area, and after this unfortunate ruling wish they had waited longer;
  • How the different justices tend to "line up" on key business issues - and what they tell us about the future; and
  • The practical applications employers need to implement in their own workplace policies and procedures.
