Masters In Employment Law

Q. Is there ever a time when an employer or prospective employer can differentiate between two workers or candidates based on sex, religion, age, etc.. ?

A. Yes, there certainly are instances where some of those are "bona fide occupational qualifications" to get a job. As an instance, only men may qualify for male roles in a movie, and just men/boys of a certain age for the role of a teenaged boy. It's acceptable to get a kosher deli to take its butchers to become Jewish. However, race and color are not considered bona fide occupational qualifications.

Q. Does flirting and bantering between co-workers represent sexual harassment?

The same can be said of flirting. What can be flattering or complimentary can be offensive, objectionable, and terrifying to a different. One person may respect flirting or mild horseplay as innocent pleasure, and it may not be seen as objectionable at the time of their behaviour, but someone else might see it as aggressive, insulting, and demeaning, or even down the street it may be regarded as a member of a pattern of a hostile atmosphere.

Q. What are some common "causes" for being fired?

(3) poor quality of work;

Q. Is it compulsory to notify government employees in advance of firing them?

• there is a specific state law regulating notice of conclusion.

Q. Must an employer check the citizenship or right to work of employees?

Employers are responsible for examining the acceptable original documents. (The sole exception is that a certified copy of a birth certificate.) However an employer may not request more files than is reasonable as that sometimes is a pretext for discrimination that is prohibited.
