Report Link Free Speech and English-Only Policies in the Workplace.Shaw Valenza LLP - July 06, 2007 Last week’s free speech ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court in the “Bong Hits 4 Jesus” case reminds us that employers, like educational institutions, have the right to regulate speech in the workplace. Private sector employers are unrestricted by the First Amendment, which applies only to government action. But there are legal restrictions applicable to private employers as well. One such restriction that is often misunderstood by employers is single-language policies. Usually they’re English-only policies, but the same rules could apply to any employer’s policy limiting the language employees may speak on the job. Report Link Developing Law on English-Only Policies (pdf).Vedder Price - April 07, 2006 EEOC regulations prohibit blanket restrictions on the use
of languages in the workplace, and the agency has
targeted employers who impose broad English-only
policies. However, a narrowly drawn policy that requires
English to be spoken at certain times and/or in certain
areas is permissible if the employer can establish a
business necessity for the policy. Report Link English-Only Policies Require Business Necessity and Proper Procedures.Jackson Lewis LLP - May 27, 2004 Massachusetts employers should be aware of the guidelines for and possible consequences of implementing and enforcing English-only policies. A recent Massachusetts federal court decision examined an English-only policy and has provided a good roadmap for employers.
