TMC: At Will or At Risk

Afternoon breakout sessions were packed full, which is quite a testament to the pull of a TMC topic after two days and after-lunch.  I sat in one on employment law, and the conversation was lively, to the point, and helpful.

Here's one tidbit:  At -will employment only works for anyone not in a protected category of any sort. Since many employees are either over 40, belong to a minority, or have even a "perceived" rather than real disability, At -will may not be viable at all.

If you need employment advice, NAPL has contracted with Fox Rothschild (Philadelphia, PA) for free labor and employee relations phone consultation for members only.  It's not unlimited, but it can point you in the right direction. For more info, call Melanie Martin-Iuso at NAPL 1-800-642-6275, ext 6318.
