Synopsis

A nationally known arbitrator in various employment-related disputes, Twomey offers insight from his on-the-job knowledge. This concise guide to employment discrimination and related laws raises awareness of issues in the workplace, enabling managers to provide the informed leadership necessary for a discrimination- and harassment-free working environment. It includes updates on emerging employment and discrimination issues, such as Supreme Court rulings on sexual harassment and the ADA's narrowing scope of coverage. Employment Discrimination Law discusses factors important in determining when individuals are considered employees covered under the NLRA and when they are unprotected independent contractors. Appendices offer excerpts from the EEOC's Guidance on Vicarious Employer Liability for Harassment by Supervisors and from the EEOC Guidance to Field Offices on ADA Charges.
