Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.Age discrimination in the digital workplace takes an alarming turn when algorithms become the gatekeepers of opportunity. The landmark case against iTutor Group reveals how technology can systematically exclude qualified workers based solely on age—with women over 55 and men over 60 automatically rejected by software regardless of their teaching qualifications or experience.When applicant Wendy Pincus discovered she was rejected but later offered an interview after reapplying with a younger birth date, she exposed a troubling reality facing many older workers in the digital economy. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's investigation uncovered evidence that over 200 qualified applicants were similarly denied consideration based on age thresholds programmed into hiring algorithms.At the heart of this case lies a critical question that affects millions of remote workers: does the traditional distinction between employees and independent contractors still make sense in the digital age? iTutor Group attempted to evade age discrimination laws by classifying its tutors as contractors despite controlling their schedules, lesson plans, and monitoring their work through video—highlighting how companies may use classification loopholes to circumvent worker protections.The $365,000 settlement represents more than just compensation—it signals that discrimination laws apply even in virtual workplaces. As remote work continues expanding globally, this case establishes important precedent for how anti-discrimination protections extend into digital environments.Perhaps most fascinating is technology's dual role as both problem and potential solution. While iTutor Group allegedly used algorithms to discriminate, other companies are now implementing AI to detect and prevent bias in hiring processes—raising complex questions about privacy, ethics, and the future of work. Who's monitoring your job application, and what criteria are they really using to evaluate you?

Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.This episode is part of my initiative to provide access to important court decisions impacting employees in an easy to understand conversational format using AI. The speakers in the episode are AI generated and frankly sound great to listen to. Enjoy!In this episode, we dive deep into the troubling case of age discrimination at Hatzell Bueller, led by an analysis of two job applicants, Dean Weintraub and Thomas Silvera. Despite their qualifications—Weintraub at 65 with over three decades of experience and Silvera at 58 with notable prior engagement with the company—both were met with questionable hiring practices that underscore the issue of age bias prevalent in today's job market.From explicit remarks about being "too old" to subtle digs in interviews, this episode uncovers how age can unjustly hinder career opportunities. We engage with the findings of the EEOC's complaint, the defense of Hatzell Bueller, and explore the implications of the settled case that includes significant measures for change albeit without admission of guilt. Listeners will learn about red flags to look for in hiring practices, patterns indicative of systemic age bias, and the discussion on how this bias impacts not just individuals but the economy at large. This introspective conversation addresses the critical cultural shift needed in recognizing the value of experience, fostering an inclusive workplace for all ages, and understanding actionable steps to challenge age-related discrimination.On July 19, 2024, the EEOC entered into a consent decree with the employer to settle the case for $500,000. Clearly the company did something wrong and wanted to avoid a protracted litigation and a higher judgment by the court or a jury. Join the conversation today, and let's work together to create a culture in which everyone, regardless of age, feels valued and respected in their professional journey.

Click here to work with us! Can you be fired after announcing your retirement? It's a question that raises eyebrows and stirs concern for anyone nearing the end of their career. A recent article highlights the legal and financial implications of being terminated after sharing retirement plans, and it's a scenario more common than you might think. Employers often operate under at-will employment laws, giving them broad rights to terminate employees, even after a retirement announcement. But what does that mean for you? Understanding protections like ERISA and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act can make all the difference in navigating this tricky situation. It's not just about legalities—financial stability, severance packages, and health insurance come into play too. On top of that, announcing retirement at the wrong time could mean missing out on potential benefits or buyouts. Striking a balance between professional courtesy and protecting your financial future is essential. When it comes to planning for life after work, the timing and approach of your announcement could impact everything from your wallet to your peace of mind.

Oregon's workforce is getting older, as more and more Oregonians continue to work into their later years of life. But many older workers run up against age discrimination. Age discrimination in the workplace is prevalent in Oregon and nationally, according to research by AARP. In this episode of Policy for the People, we explore the issue of age discrimination in the workplace. Our guest is Andrea Meyer, Director of Government Relations at AARP Oregon. We discuss how pervasive the problem of age discrimination in the workplace is, its consequences, and what Oregon can do to address the problem.
Age diversity and cross-generational synergy can transform an organization.Most of us know age diversity matters in the workplace. But according to UCLA's Bob McCann, we're thinking about it all wrong: it's not just about having different generations present — it's about creating meaningful connections between them.As director of UCLA's Leadership Communication Program and founder of the McCann Group, McCann has spent years researching intergenerational workplace dynamics. With four to six generations now working side by side, he says there's never been a better time to create synergies between the old and the young."There's a tremendous opportunity for meeting and interacting with people who are different than you, for increasing a variety of potential outcomes in business in a positive way, if we can maximize our intergenerational engagement," he says. His research reveals that while many organizations focus on gender and ethnic diversity, age diversity often gets overlooked in DEI initiatives — despite its crucial role in workplace success.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, McCann joins Matt Abrahams to discuss how organizations can move beyond superficial age diversity to create meaningful cross-generational connections. From reverse mentoring programs to shadow boards, they explore practical ways leaders can harness the power of generational difference to drive innovation and collaboration.Episode Reference Links:Bob McCannEp.67 What Is Normal?

In this episode Jack Tuckner, Esq. and Catherine Crider, Esq. of Tuckner, Sipser, Weinstock & Sipser, LLP, a NY-based law firm dedicated to workplace gender rights, join us to discuss the significant challenges faced by women at midlife, particularly around menopause, and how the workplace can better support them. The conversation is a deep dive into the legal landscape of workplace accommodations, how to navigate discussions about menopause with employers, and why it's critical to push for legislative changes, such as a Menopause Workplace Fairness Act.With over 20 years of experience, Jack advocates for working women at all stages of their reproductive life cycle, from pregnancy through menopause. His practice focuses on combating sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination, illegal gender pay disparity, sex discrimination, maternity leave matters, unlawful retaliation, and wrongful termination. He has long fought for women's rights and against the unequal and wrongful treatment of women in the workplace. In doing so, Jack has gained a reputation for feminist activism and the pursuit of gender justice in pay for all women. Catherine works with the team advocating for women's rights in the workplace. As part of her advocacy, she represents clients facing challenges including combating sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination, illegal pay disparity, and other forms of workplace discrimination. In addition to being a lawyer, Catherine is an active labor and postpartum doula helping families. When she's not working with families one-on-one, she teaches childbirth education and postpartum classes for new parents across the United States.Topics covered in this episode:Understanding the Legal Landscape Around Menopause: While there are no specific laws in place directly addressing menopause currently, the symptoms women experience during perimenopause and menopause could fall under existing protections like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), and the Civil Rights Act (Title VII). These laws provide a foundation for women to request reasonable accommodations, such as flexibility in scheduling or adjustments to the work environment.Why Workplace Accommodations are Crucial: Menopause, much like pregnancy, requires acknowledgment in the workplace. Women at midlife may face challenges due to symptoms like hot flashes, insomnia, or brain fog, which can negatively impact their work performance. Providing accommodations such as flexible hours or temperature control can help women continue to excel in their careers.The Fight for the Menopause Workplace Fairness Act: Modeled after the recently passed Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA), this new proposed menopause protective legislation seeks to ensure that menopause-related symptoms receive the same protections as pregnancy, helping to protect women's rights in the workplace.Take Action and Start the Conversation: Women need to advocate for themselves. This starts with awareness of their rights and having conversations with their employers about the accommodations they need to continue to optimally perform their jobs. Promoting Awareness and Change: As more women work longer and remain in their careers well into midlife, the need for understanding and accommodations becomes even more pressing. By advocating for change at both an individual and legislative level, women can ensure that their workplaces evolve to support them throughout all stages of life.For more insights on navigating workplace challenges during menopause and advocating for your rights, tune in to this impactful episode of The Positive Pause*.

It Gets Late Early: Career Tips for Tech Employees in Midlife and Beyond
In this solo episode, I break down the recent controversy surrounding a career guide published by Indeed, the world's largest job site, with 365 million daily users and over 3.5 million employers. Here's a teaser: The guide labeled ages 45-55 as “late career” and 55-65 as “decline,” sparking an outcry over its ageist language.I stumbled across the uproar late one night on LinkedIn and decided to post my thoughts, which quickly went viral. Indeed responded within hours, issuing an apology and removing the offensive content, but the damage was already done!The guide perpetuated harmful stereotypes, like the idea that workers in their 40s and 50s should aim for less demanding roles and stop learning new skills. This couldn't be further from the truth—many of us are thriving in our careers at this stage, with plenty of energy and ambition.While I appreciate how quickly Indeed responded, I still question how the management allowed the guide to be published in the first place. It raises concerns about whether they truly support an age-inclusive work environment. But this situation has opened up an important conversation about ageism, and I'm hopeful it will lead to lasting change.Can several viral posts on LinkedIn really change how a major corporation thinks about age? Join me as we explore how this Indeed debacle can serve as a catalyst for real change in tackling ageism in the workplace. Don't worry—we'll get some solid career advice and probably a few laughs too.In This Episode:-Introduction and overview of Indeed's corporate values-Personal experience with the career guide controversy-Career stages in Indeed's career guide-Critique of the career guide's advice-Raising a successor for your position-Retirement in your forties: myth or reality?-The "decline" era: what to expect-The reality of ageism in the workplace-Indeed's apology and future stepsResources Mentioned in the Episode:-Indeed's live webinar on November 7, 2024, titled “Success and Satisfaction in the Later Stages of Your Career”: https://www.linkedin.com/events/7237487552620843009/ -Indeed's article, “Ageism in the Workplace: Its Impact and How to Prevent It”: https://www.indeed.com/hire/c/info/ageism-in-the-workplace -Indeed's article, “ADEA: An Employer's Guide to the Age Discrimination in Employment Act”: https://www.indeed.com/hire/c/info/adea#:~:text=The%20purpose%20of%20the%20ADEA,ability%20when%20making%20those%20decisions. -Maureen's LinkedIn post: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/maureenwclough_are-you-over-55-indeed-as-in-the-one-that-activity-7235228512918388738-wIYC?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_iosConnect with Maureen Clough:-Instagram: @itgetslateearly - https://www.instagram.com/itgetslateearly/-YouTube: @itgetslateearly...

While the technology job market remains vibrant and strong for many workers, people over the age of 50 are finding it more difficult to get a new job, or navigate past the layers of hiring with the institution of new AI screening tools. Keith talks with Christina Matz, Ph.D., an associate professor in the Boston Collee School of Social Work and director of the Center on Aging & Work, about why age discrimination still exists within much of the corporate world, including in the tech sector.
So many of us expect to become less happy as we age, BUT science says you couldn't be more wrong - you'll likely become happier as you get into old age, you'll be more content and more able to live in the present moment. This phenomenon is called the happiness curve and it's a concept that award winning journalist Jonathon Rauch is incredibly passionate about. Jonathan is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington and the author of The Happiness Curve, Why Life Gets Better After 50. So what does the research say, how can we avoid the midlife crisis we hear so much about & how might the happiness curve help us to reframe the way we approach aging?

In this episode, Karen explores the case of Rodney Martinez, a 59-year-old part-time product associate at a New England grocery chain called The Market Basket, where he sued his employer for age discrimination after he was passed over for promotion in favor of younger employees. The case highlights the prevalence of age discrimination in the workplace, which is prohibited by the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. The lack of a fair and objective promotion process can lead to favoritism and discrimination, making it crucial for employers to implement a formal system for promotions. The Job Judge Podcast is a podcast for anyone who works. This is not legal advice! Engaging and informative, it's a must-listen/watch for any manager, business owner, HR professional, or anyone who works. Relying on three decades of experience as an employment law attorney and HR Executive, Karen Michael uses real case studies in the news and navigates through the legal landmines and workplace dysfunction that we know is probably happening right now in your organization.
How many times have you referred to yourself as ‘too old' or ‘too young' for something? Have you blamed your forgetfulness on a ‘senior moment' or your sore neck on ‘being over 30'? I'll be honest, before I found out about Ashton Applewhite's work, they were comments I made ALL the time. But, remarks like these as well as a whole host of other behaviors are acts of ageism - something Ashton calls the ‘last socially sanctioned prejudice' & it's damaging to everyone because guess what? We're all aging! So how can we push back against this discrimination and age positively in a society that's obsessed with youth? That's what we're going to tackle today.

Age discrimination in the workplace continues to be a national discussion, especially ahead of this upcoming presidential election involving President Biden and former President Trump. But this month, the controversy emerged again here in Connecticut, specifically surrounding a local hospital. According to court documents, a former Waterbury Hospital executive filed a lawsuit against her ex-employer alleging she was fired for her age. We talked about the case and gave listeners insight on how to handle age discrimination in the workplace from Attorney Gary Phelan. He is an employment attorney at Mitchell and Sheahan and law professor at Quinnipiac University. Image Credit: Getty Images

I don't know about you, but AGE is one aspect of DEI that I hardly ever hear anything about. And, yet the impact of ageist policies on older workers is profound. Are you thinking something like "but it's time for those boomers to get out the way so I have a chance!"? Well, I asked Laura Tamblyn Watts, the CEO of CanAge about that. CanAge is Canada's Seniors Advocacy organization and, she says while a few older workers have a ton of privilege, many are shockingly disadvantaged. With 25 years of experience, Laura brings a wealth of knowledge about ageism and its impact in the workplace and to aging people. We discussed:
A new survey paints a dire picture for workers over 50 - it's war out there
JULIE BAUKE OF THE BAUKE GROUP JOINS DAWN LIVE WITH THE LATEST EMPLOYMENT TRENDS... JULIE RESPONDS TO THE FOLLOWING PROMPTS... REGARDING AGE DISCRIMINATION IN THE WORKPLACE - LACK OF SECURITY WHEN WORKING REMOTELY... & FINALLY THE GEN Z WORK ABILITY AND THE GENERATIONS EXPECTATIONS... (MarketWatch)Chris Autry built, opened and ran corporate call centers for about 30 years. His longest stretch of unemployment was for six months in 1989. Until recently, that is.Autry, 64, lost his job last year in a corporate downsizing and hasn't been able to find another one in the nine months that he has been looking. He thinks ageism may be playing a role. He's applied for about 500 jobs and gotten a 12% response rate that has led to dozens of interviews and follow-ups... “Everything is virtual nowadays. I've found that if the first interview or screening is done over the phone, I always get to the next level. If it's by video, I don't make it to the next level,” Autry said. “Perhaps it might be unconscious bias if they see me as an older applicant...” During one interview, he said, he dressed appropriately, in his view, wearing a jacket and tie. The vice president of human resources asked him if he always dressed so formally. “I got the impression that maybe I come off as old school, stuffy, from a bygone era,” Autry said... AARP found that 64% of adults age 50 and over in the workforce think older workers face discrimination, and nine in 10 believe that age discrimination against older workers is common in the workplace. More than one in 10 said they have been passed up for a promotion or chance to get ahead because of their age. Read more. How should older workers approach job interviews if they're worried about ageism? A story by The Wall Street Journal notes that remote workers are more likely to be laid off. Workers logging on from home five days a week were 35% more likely to be laid off in 2023 than their peers who put in office time, according to an analysis of two million white-collar workers conducted by employment data provider Live Data Technologies. The analysis showed 10% of fully remote workers were laid off last year, compared with 7% of those working in an office full time or on a hybrid basis.“When a hiring manager gets news they have to cut 10% of the staff, it's easier to put someone on the list you don't have a close personal relationship with,” says Andy Challenger, senior vice president at Challenger, Gray & Christmas, an outplacement firm. Much of the disparity, he says, is that it's simply harder to build attachments to people you don't see face to face. Does this mean workers should think twice before taking a fully remote job? Can remote workers do anything to avoid being laid off? According to a new Harris Poll carried out exclusively for Fortune, bosses feel Gen Z workers lack soft skills and have unrealistic expectations. Fortune: Eighty-two percent of managers—among the Harris Poll's pool of 1,200 knowledge workers—said their new Gen Z hires' soft skills need more guidance, time, and training. They think Gen Z newbies also have unrealistic workplace expectations, more so than they used to, and three in four managers say it's harder to train new hires in soft skills than in actual technical skills.The story includes examples of soft skills such as how to receive blunt feedback or strike up a conversation with a senior manager if you run into them in the office kitchen. How can young workers improve their soft skills to advance their career? And how can they have a more realistic picture of what the workplace is really like? Julie Bauke (rhymes with NOW-kee) can offer advice. She is Founder and Chief Career Strategist with The Bauke Group. Julie also worked for 16 years in HR. She is the author of the book, Stop Peeing On Your Shoes: Avoiding the 7 Mistakes That Screw Up Your Job Search.

Sponsor CavnessHR delivers HR companies with 49 or fewer people with our HR platform and by providing you access to your own HRBP. www.CavnessHR.com HR Laws for Small Business with 49 or fewer employees If you have at least one employee, the following HR laws apply to you. Drug-Free Workplace Act: The Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 only applies to federal grant recipients and federal contractors with a contract for more than $100,000. Drug-Free Workplace Requirements Generally, it requires that covered employers: adopt a drug-free workplace policy; and establish a drug-free awareness program. Employers faced with alcohol and drug use in the workplace often consider employee and applicant drug testing as a way to reduce safety risks and avoid other problems caused by employee drug use. Employers that use drug testing should be aware of the many laws and regulations governing safety, employee privacy, and disability. The issues involved include both legally mandated and voluntary drug-free workplace programs, discrimination and accommodation, testing, and special requirements for the transportation industry. Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA): Prohibits intentional interceptions of wire, oral, or electronic communications. https://it.ojp.gov/privacyliberty/authorities/statutes/1285 Employee Polygraph Protection Act: Forbids most employers to use lie detectors. Poster required. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/polygraph Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA): Regulates benefits through a complex series of rules covering pensions, profit-sharing, stock bonus, and most insurance and other benefit plans. What is ERISA? The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) was enacted to ensure that employees receive the pension and other benefits promised by their employers. ERISA also incorporates and is tied to Internal Revenue Code (IRC) provisions designed to encourage employers to provide retirement and other benefits to their employees. Most provisions of ERISA and the IRC are intended to ensure that tax-favored pension plans do not favor the highest-paid employees over rank-and-file employees. ERISA has a complex series of rules that cover pension, profit-sharing, stock bonus, and most “welfare benefit plans,” such as health and life insurance. ERISA has created a single federal standard for employee benefits, and it supersedes almost all state laws that affect employee benefit plans. An employer's responsibilities under ERISA vary depending on the type of plan involved. https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/retirement/erisa Military Leave -Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) of 1994: Prohibits discrimination against those who serve in the military; mandates military leave of absence. With the increased use of reserve and National Guard troops in full-time military service, employers must frequently deal with the requirements of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) of 1994 when those employees are called to active services and when they return. USERRA governs the leave and reinstatement requirements for military personnel. The law contains specific requirements for protected leave, rules for benefits employees are entitled to during military leave, and the requirements for reinstatement back in the civilian workforce. https://www.dol.gov/vets/programs/userra/userra_fs.htm Employee Right to Know Laws (Hazardous Chemicals in Workplace): A disclosure rule that requires private sector employers with hazardous substances in their workplace to develop a comprehensive hazard communication program to train and inform employees. https://www.osha.gov/Publications/osha3111.html National Labor Relations Act (NLRA): Employees have the right to organize and bargain collectively for wages, hours, and working conditions. The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 (NLRA) was passed by Congress to encourage a healthy relationship between private sector workers and their employers. It was designed to curtail work stoppages, strikes, and general labor strife, which were viewed by Congress as harmful to the economy and the nation's welfare. To this end, the Act defines and protects the rights of employees and employers, encourages collective bargaining, and prohibits certain practices on the part of both labor and management. The NLRA also provides a system for conducting elections to determine who represents the employees and for enforcement of the strictures against unfair practices by any of the parties. https://www.nlrb.gov/guidance/key-reference-materials/national-labor-relations-act Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA): Employers must furnish a workplace that is free from recognized hazards. Poster required. https://webapps.dol.gov/elaws/elg/osha.htm Equal Pay Act (EPA): Forbids discrimination in pay on the basis of gender. Poster required. Two federal statutes prohibit gender-based differences in pay: the Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII). Title VII and other federal laws also prohibit pay discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, age, and disability. Although the EPA and Title VII both prohibit pay discrimination based on gender, the laws differ in several aspects, including coverage, enforcement, and remedies. https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/statutes/epa.cfm Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA): Regulates the payment of minimum wages and overtime. Poster required. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), also known as the federal Wage and Hour Law, regulates minimum wage, overtime, equal pay, recordkeeping, and child labor for employees of enterprises engaged in interstate or foreign commerce and employees of state and local governments. The FLSA is enforced by the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). The FLSA applies in all states, but states are permitted to develop their own laws and regulations to provide even greater protection for their workers than is provided under federal law. In cases in which the two laws conflict, the law most beneficial to the employee prevails. Therefore, it is essential that employers understand both the state and federal laws. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/flsa Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA): Employers must verify that workers are legally entitled to work in the United States. IRCA also prohibits employers from discriminating in hiring, firing, recruiting, or referring based on national orgin or citizensip status. It is also illegal to retaliate against an employee who has filed. The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) bars employers from hiring individuals, including undocumented immigrants, who are not legally entitled to work in the United States Employers must verify that individual are eligible to work by obtaining an Employment eligibility Verification Form, know as Form I-9 and inspecting the required supporting documents at the time of hiring. I-9 forms must be retained for 3 years after the worker is hired or for one year after termination, whichever is longer. https://www.uscis.gov/i-9 Federal Income Tax Withholding: Employers are required to make deductions from employees' pay for Social Security. Employers are required by law to make deductions from the pay of their employees for federal income tax, for Social Security tax under the Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA), and for Medicare tax. The government provides detailed tables for the computation of these withholding amounts. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Publication 15 (Circular E), Employer's Tax Guide, provides details and may be obtained on the IRS website athttps://www.irs.gov/forms-instructions. What do employers need to consider regarding Social Security and Medicare? The Social Security program was created by the federal Social Security Act. It is a worker-employer-government insurance program, covering benefits for retirement, survivors, disability and Medicare. Employers withhold two separate taxes from employees' paychecks. One is the Social Security tax and the other is the Medicare tax. Medicare, which is funded through taxes, provides health insurance for people aged 65 or older and many people with disabilities. Medicare consists of Parts A (hospital insurance), B (medical insurance), and C (Medicare Advantage), which offer additional preventive health benefits and patient protections. In 2006, Medicare began offering prescription drug plans, known as Part D. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/federal-income-tax-withholding Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) of 1935 (Social Security): Employers and Employees are required to contribute to Social Security and Medicare. https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc751 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA): Limits the duration of pre-existing condition exclusion in group health plans and gives new enrollees credit for prior coverage. https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/index.html If you have at least 15 employees, the following HR laws apply to you. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): Forbids discrimination against the disabled. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits disability discrimination. In the workplace, employers cannot discriminate against a qualified individual with a disability. Reasonable accommodation by employers is required absent undue hardship. The ADA Amendments Acts of 2008 (ADAAA) and its regulations significantly broadened the definition of disability, shifting the focus away from whether an individual has a disability and toward whether discrimination occurred. https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/disability/ada Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA): Forbids discrimination on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions. Several federal laws protect or grant rights to workers on the basis of pregnancy or related medical conditions. These rights and protections may include the right to be free from discrimination, harassment, and stereotypes; the right to reasonable workplace accommodations, such as job modifications, extended or additional breaks, and leave; the right to leave for pregnancy, childbirth, related medical conditions, and bonding; and the right to equivalent fringe benefits, such as health insurance. https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/statutes/pregnancy.cfm Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act: To prohibit discrimination on the basis of genetic information with respect to health insurance and employment. The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) prohibits genetic information discrimination against employees or job applicants. https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/statutes/gina.cfm Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964: Prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. Federal fair employment laws protect employees from discrimination based on age, race, color, sex, national origin, religion, disability, and genetic information. Federal law covers employers of 15 or more employees, except for the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), which covers employers with 20 or more employees. State laws often cover employers with fewer employees and provide protection for groups not covered under federal law. Certain individuals in the workplace, such as independent contractors, are not protected by federal fair employment laws if they are not employees. Employers are liable for discriminatory acts by supervisors—in some cases, strictly liable. There are many preventive measures an employer can take to reduce the probability of being sued for discrimination. Civil rights laws also impose numerous recordkeeping requirements on employers. https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/statutes/titlevii.cfm Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Update): Extends prohibition of discrimination on the basis of sex to gay, lesbian, and transgender individuals. https://www.npr.org/2020/06/15/863498848/supreme-court-delivers-major-victory-to-lgbtq-employees If you have at least 20 employees, the following HR laws apply to you. Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA): Forbids the discrimination on the basis of age 40 and over. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) prohibits all public employers and private employers with 20 or more employees from discriminating against employees or applicants based on age. Individuals must be at least 40 years of age to be covered by the ADEA. Harassment of employees based on age is also unlawful discrimination. The ADEA also protects an older worker's disability payments, retirement incentives, life insurance, pension, and retirement plans. Amendments to the ADEA set out standards for waivers of legal rights by older employees in return for retirement incentives. Many states also have fair employment laws that prohibit age discrimination. Different age groups may be protected under state law, and smaller employers may be subject to state requirements. https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/statutes/adea.cfm Consolidated Omnibus Benefits Reconciliation Act (COBRA): Requires that employees who lose coverage under group health plans be given a continuation option. https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/health-plans/cobra CavnessHR Product/Market Fit Validation and Tech Platform Validation To help us with our product market fit and tech platform validation.

On this day in legal history, November 10, 1919, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a pivotal decision in Abrams v. United States, a case that profoundly impacted the interpretation of the First Amendment regarding free speech. This ruling upheld the 1918 Amendment to the Espionage Act of 1917, making it a criminal offense to urge the curtailment of war material production intended to hinder the U.S. war effort against Germany. The case originated when Hyman Rosansky was arrested for distributing leaflets in New York City, denouncing American intervention in Russia and advocating for the cessation of weapon production against Soviet Russia. These leaflets, printed in both English and Yiddish, led to the arrest of Rosansky and six other Russians, all of whom had emigrated from Russia to the United States.The trial, which concluded on October 23, 1919, resulted in varying sentences for the defendants. Gabriel Prober was acquitted, while Hyman Rosansky received a three-year sentence. Jacob Abrams, Hyman Lachowsky, and Samuel Lipman were each sentenced to 20 years and fined $1,000. Mollie Steimer received a 15-year sentence and a $5,000 fine.In a 7-2 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the defendants' First Amendment rights were not violated. Justice John Hessin Clarke, writing for the majority, argued that the intent to hinder war production could be inferred from the defendants' words, posing an imminent danger as per the "clear-and-present-danger" standard. However, in a powerful dissent, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. contended that free speech should only be curtailed when there is a clear and present danger of immediate evil or intent to bring it about. This dissent would later influence the legal understanding of free speech rights. The Abrams case was eventually largely overturned by Brandenburg v. Ohio in 1969, marking a significant shift in the legal stance on freedom of speech.The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit recently ruled that part of the ATF's regulation on "ghost guns" exceeds the agency's authority. This rule, which targets privately made firearms without serial numbers, was deemed to conflict with the Gun Control Act. Judge Kurt D. Engelhardt emphasized that it's not within the ATF's remit to create laws, a responsibility that belongs to Congress. The court affirmed that the ATF must adhere to existing statutory limits until Congress acts. The ruling vacated and remanded parts of a lower court's decision, with Circuit Judge Andrew S. Oldham critiquing the rule as overreaching. The case stems from a challenge by manufacturers, dealers, individuals, and gun-rights groups against the Biden administration's reinterpretation of the 1968 gun law. The ATF's rule aimed to regulate ghost guns by treating disassembled frames or receivers as firearms, requiring serial numbers, background checks, and transaction records. The District Court for the Northern District of Texas had previously invalidated this rule, but the Supreme Court allowed regulation to continue pending legal proceedings. The case, VanDerStok v. Garland, is part of broader efforts to increase enforcement against untraceable ghost guns.‘Ghost Guns' Rule Exceeds ATF Authority, Appeals Court HoldsUS appeals court calls Biden's 'ghost gun' limits unlawful | ReutersThe U.S. faces a significant backlog in processing labor permits, complicating efforts to manage the influx of undocumented immigrants and alleviate labor shortages. The Biden administration's move to grant temporary work permits to almost 500,000 Venezuelans is threatened by this backlog at the immigration agency. This slowdown impacts the U.S. labor market recovery, as foreign-born workers, essential during the pandemic, now contribute less to the labor force. The backlog includes around 350,000 Temporary Protected Status (TPS) applications, mostly from Venezuelans facing long wait times. Businesses like New York's Mirror Lake Inn Resort & Spa are seeking to hire migrants through TPS for various roles, highlighting the dependency on foreign labor. Despite efforts, USCIS faces challenges due to funding issues and increased processing times, exacerbated by the pandemic. The White House's expansion of the TPS program and reliance on congressional support are critical for addressing these backlogs and easing labor market pressures.A 9 Million Backlog for American Visas Deepens the Labor CrunchDonald Trump's lawyers have requested a New York judge to issue a directed verdict in his favor in a civil fraud case, marking a critical juncture in the trial threatening his business empire. This move follows the New York Attorney General's office resting its case against Trump, his two sons, and his companies, accusing them of inflating asset values for financial gain. Despite Trump and his children testifying that they relied on accountants for financial statements, evidence indicates their involvement. The attorney general seeks $250 million in penalties and a ban on Trump's real estate activities in New York. Judge Arthur Engoron, who previously found Trump and his companies committed fraud, has yet to rule on this request. Trump, facing multiple legal challenges and leading the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, has accused the judge and attorney general of political bias.Trump's lawyers mount long-shot bid to toss NY fraud lawsuit | ReutersPhilip Postlewaite, a longtime Northwestern law professor, has sued the university for age discrimination, alleging his salary is lower than that of less experienced colleagues.

Hello, listeners! I hope you're taking care of yourselves and finding moments of joy. In today's episode, we deep dive into a comprehensive question from one of our loyal listeners. This listener shares their journey, from discovering our podcast through a Men's Health article on mental health to now being engrossed in Dr. Becca Levy's book "Breaking the Aging Code." The core of their question revolves around the challenges the aging population faces, particularly concerning mental health. They highlight the troubling fact that the majority of mental health providers do not accept older patients on Medicare and express concerns about receiving appropriate care as they age, especially without having a family advocate by their side. Our discussion touches upon the age bias prevalent in the medical community and the importance of proactive health measures, both mentally and physically. We delve into the effects of cardiovascular health on cognitive abilities, the significance of continuous learning and social interactions, and the role of stress in aging. Furthermore, we emphasize the importance of advocating for oneself, understanding the intricacies of Medicare, and the potential benefits of seeking younger medical practitioners who may have a fresh perspective on care.
