Session 2: Religious Discrimination - Employers are not only faced with traditional demands for accommodation, but experience new challenges from proselytizing employees, some of whom are now asserting their own religious beliefs. Courts are now facing a question they have long tried to avoid—what actually is a religion? The potential clash of these various interests pose fascinating challenges both for courts and for the lawyers who represent employers or employees.
Session 3: Emerging LGBT Issues in the Workplace - Recent legal developments have dramatically changed the landscape for same-sex marriage and the rights of LGBT employees in the workplace. Explore the related impact on employee benefit plans, leave entitlements, and anti-discrimination policies.
