Report Link Social Media & Hiring.Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP - November 16, 2009 Our seminar today on social media for employers was great. Thanks to everyone who attended (live and online with apologies for the short interruption in audio to those online). Report Link Proof that Looks Really Do Matter ... at Least for Resumes.Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP - November 03, 2009 When it comes to resumes, I’m not the only one who believes that looks really do matter. Admittedly, I am more particular than most when it comes to the appearance of documents. But typeface is one aesthetic upon which I do not stand alone. Report Link New Hiring Restrictions for TARP Employers.Vedder Price - March 11, 2009 On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed into law The American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (commonly known as the “Stimulus Bill”), which imposes
restrictions on employers who are Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) recipients or
recipients of certain Federal Reserve loans. The new provision, called the “Employ
American Workers Act,” restricts TARP recipients and recipients of Federal Reserve loans
offered pursuant to Section 13 of the Federal Reserve Act from hiring foreign nationals in
H-1B (Specialty Occupation) visa status for a two-year period, unless the employer makes
certain attestations regarding displacement and recruitment of U.S. workers. Report Link The Employment Application: More Than a Formality.Fisher & Phillips, LLP - January 08, 2009 With a tightening economy, those employers fortunate enough to be hiring can't afford to make bad hiring decisions. Among other problems, bad hires can result in high turnover, low production, workplace disruption, abuse of benefits and creation of legal risks. Report Link Hiring from Outside the Company: How New People Can Bring Unexpected Problems.Knowledge@Wharton (Reg Required) - September 05, 2008 As life-long employment fades and the workforce becomes increasingly mobile, many companies look to hire skilled, experienced workers to improve productivity quickly. Those workers, however, often bring baggage from prior jobs that can negate the benefits of their prior experience, according to new Wharton research. Report Link The Talent Hunt: Getting the People You Need, When You Need Them.Knowledge@Wharton (Reg Required) - May 14, 2008 Ask any CEO or senior level executive what his or her biggest challenge is, and the answer is almost always finding and keeping good people. Yet most executives fail to manage their company's needs in a way that recognizes the unpredictability of the global marketplace. Report Link City's Pre-Employment Drug Testing Requirement Unconstitutional for Non-Safety-Sensitive Library Position.Jackson Lewis LLP - March 26, 2008 Public employers beware! A city’s blanket pre-employment drug and alcohol testing policy, requiring that finalists for city positions be tested for drugs and alcohol, has been held unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution when applied to an applicant for a library page position. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that the pre-employment testing policy of the City of Woodburn, Oregon, is a search within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment, and therefore must “fit within the closely guarded category of constitutionally permissible suspicionless searches.” Report Link Who Will Play the Lead in Your Company’s Next Performance? The Beauty or the Beast?Fisher & Phillips, LLP - March 12, 2008 Let's say you are a restaurant manager responsible for interviewing candidates for a maitre d' position. You narrow the applicant pool down to two candidates. Both applicants have similar employment histories, education, and job experiences. But during the interview process, you discover something that sets applicant two apart from applicant one. Here's how the interviews play out. Report Link New EEOC Fact Sheet Reminds Employers to Vet Screening Criteria Carefully.Jackson Lewis LLP - December 13, 2007 Employment tests such as cognitive tests, criminal background checks and physical ability tests can often help employers sift through large pools of job applicants and employees seeking promotion. A new fact sheet issued by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") reminds employers to be careful in deciding what tests to use and how to score those tests. While the fact sheet does not stake out new ground, the EEOC's focus on an increase in testing-related discrimination charges should impel employers to ensure that their own procedures comply with federal anti-discrimination laws. Report Link Hassle-Free Holiday Hiring.Elarbee, Thompson, Sapp & Wilson, LLP. - December 06, 2007 The 2007 holiday shopping season has arrived. The National Retail Federation estimates that holiday sales will reach nearly $475 billion this year – an increase of four percent over last season. Undoubtedly, the increase in sales will require an increase in seasonal staffing. In addition to retailers, the seasonal activity will also directly affect the restaurant and hotel industry. Report Link Be Proactive to Minimize Potential Liability In Negligent Hiring and Retention Lawsuits.Elarbee, Thompson, Sapp & Wilson, LLP. - January 24, 2007 A review of recent case filings indicates that restaurants and hotels increasingly are being sued under the negligent hiring and retention doctrines. In these lawsuits, plaintiffs are seeking to hold companies directly liable for employees who commit torts against their coworkers or third parties. For example, a Pennsylvania jury recently awarded over $365,000 to a customer injured by a bouncer who was hired despite having very little experience and a history of unruly behavior. Similarly, an Alabama jury recently awarded a plaintiff $29 million based on theories of vicarious liability and negligent retention after one of the defendant’s delivery drivers caused a fatal automobile accident while high on methamphetamines. In that case, the plaintiff successfully argued at trial that the defendant had negligently retained the driver when it did not drug test him and continued to employ him despite receiving complaints alleging erratic behavior. Report Link Immigration: Pre-Employment Screening/Recruitment: The Do's and the Don'ts (pdf).Vedder Price - July 13, 2006 As part of the Immigration Seminar of June, 2006, Kevin Hennessy spoke on Pre-Employment Screening/Recruitment: The Do's and the Don'ts. Report Link Multistate Employers Should Review Their "New Hire" Reporting.Littler Mendelson, P.C. - April 12, 2006 Most employers are by now familiar with the general obligation, in existence since October 1, 1997, due to the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, to report new hires to the federal New Hire Registry (NHR) through a state reporting process. Some states also have enacted requirements to report independent contractors. What some employers may not know is that when they have employees in multiple states, they may report all new hires to a single state. Report Link Offer Letters: Traps for the Unwary.Jackson Lewis LLP - August 10, 2004 Two decisions by the California Court of Appeal demonstrate the need for employers to be cautious about the representations they make in oral and written offers of employment.
