Although two of the cases were granted review at the end of the last term, the remaining three cases were granted review just a few months ago, on September 25, 2007.

Report Link Who? . . . Me? Personal Liability for Managers.Elarbee, Thompson, Sapp & Wilson, LLP. - September 28, 2007 Approximately one quarter of the lawsuits filed in federal courts are employment-related. Traditionally, disgruntled employees name their employers as defendants in such suits. In each dispute, however, one or more managers carried out the employment actions at issue, and employees increasingly are suing not just their employers, but their managers as well. While there is a general consensus among the courts that there is no individual liability under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, there is less consensus as to whether managers and supervisors may be held personally liable for violations of 42 U.S.C. § 1981, The Americans With Disabilites Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). Moreover, managers and supervisors may be held personally liable for damages pursuant to many state tort law claims, as well as some state anti-discrimination statutes, such as the Colorado Discrimination Act. Report Link Caregiver Discrimination: A New Angle on Sex, Race, and Disability Discrimination.Fredrikson & Byron, P.A. - August 23, 2007 The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) recently issued written guidance on its approach to sex, race, and disability discrimination claims that involve caregivers. Although the guidance does not create a new protected class for caregivers, it sets forth numerous examples of employer conduct toward pregnant employees, women of color, and male and female caregivers that the EEOC will treat as sex, race, and/or disability discrimination. The guidance serves as a warning to employers to prevent bias against caregivers and indicates the potential legal consequences if they do not. Report Link U.S. Supreme Court Wraps Up Term With Three Cases.Ogletree Deakins - July 27, 2007 The U.S. Supreme Court recently concluded its 2006-2007 term.

Report Link United States Supreme Court Employment Law Decisions 2006-2007.Shaw Valenza LLP - July 18, 2007 The United States Supreme Court decided several significant employment law cases during the 2006 Term.

There presently are three important cases on the docket for next Term, summarized below. The Court may add more cases to the docket as the new Term approaches in October 2007). Report Link EEOC Issues Guidance on Workers with Caregiving Responsibilities.Jackson Lewis LLP - May 31, 2007 Although no federal law specifically prohibits discrimination against caregivers, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in its newly issued Enforcement Guidance entitled, "Unlawful Disparate Treatment of Workers with Caregiving Responsibilities," addresses in detail the circumstances in which discrimination against caregivers may violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or the Americans with Disabilities Act and outlines how the EEOC will approach the investigation of charges brought by caregivers. Report Link Labor and Employment Advisory: EEOC Issues New Guidance on Work/Family Balance in the Workplace.Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC - May 25, 2007 On May 23, 2007, the EEOC issued a new Enforcement Guidance, titled "Unlawful Disparate Treatment of Workers with Caregiving Responsibilities." http://www.eeoc.gov/policy/docs/caregiving.html. The guidance identifies various ways in which employers may violate Title VII or the ADA as an increasing number of employees and applicants struggle to balance work and family obligations.

Report Link EEOC Issues New Guidance on Work/Family Balance in the Workplace.Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC - May 24, 2007 In a new Enforcement Guidance issued by the EEOC, employers are made aware of the various ways in which Title VII or the ADA may be violated by actions (and reactions) toward employees and applicants seeking to balance work and family obligations.
