Foulston Employment Law Institute – Session 4

Description

Foulston's Employment Law Institute (Webinar Series) brings together human resource professionals, business owners, executives, managers, and in-house counsel from a wide range of industries to learn about the latest legal developments, best practices, and strategies to make their organizations legally compliant and employers of choice. We have packaged our usual one-day live seminar into a series of webinars to cover the same variety of topics but delivered to your desktop in bite-sized sessions.

Live sessions are scheduled every Thursday in April. Registrants will receive downloadable materials to use as a desk resource and will also have access to view recorded versions of all sessions online at their convenience. One-time registration fee for all four sessions is $210.

SESSION 4 (live presentation on Thursday, April 28, 2022, from 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM)

PART 1 (11:30 AM – 12:30 PM)
EMERGING LEGAL ISSUES INVOLVING GENDER, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, AND GENDER IDENTITY BIAS
Presented by Teresa Shulda and Emily Matta
The Bostock decision and the EEOC’s updated sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) guidance clarified that SOGI discrimination is prohibited by Title VII, but employers still have questions that remain unaddressed by courts and the EEOC. We’ll highlight emerging legal issues, including pronoun usage, bathroom/locker room usage, and discuss examples of SOGI-specific forms of harassment the EEOC and courts warn employers to avoid. We’ll also discuss the interface between religious and First Amendment rights and LGBTQ employee rights, current cases in the courts, and questions these cases may answer for employers.

PART 2 (12:30 PM – 1:30 PM)
WAIT, WAIT, DON’T SUE ME 
Presented by Vaughn Burkholder, Tara Eberline, and David Rogers
Socrates said, “Wisdom is knowing what you don’t know.” What legal landmines are lurking out there that you might not know you don’t know about? In this lively session, play along and learn as contestants are quizzed in humorous ways about recent legal developments and overlooked and misunderstood employment laws.
