Podcasts about employment act

We all know that age is a protected class under the EEOC and Title VII, but did you know that age protection includes it's own separate act from Congress? The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 is our topic in this episode — with information and details that are seldom reviewed or discussed. Sharpen your understanding of the definitions and protections provided to the baby-boomers in your organization.

South Africa's Constitutional Court has rewritten the rules of parenthood at work. In a landmark ruling, the court declared sections of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act and UIF Act unconstitutional, opening the door for equal parental leave regardless of gender, adoption, or surrogacy. This changes not only the world of work, but also the very fabric of family life in South Africa. To unpack what this means for parents, employers, and the future, we're joined by Legal Expert Hope Mboweni of Shepstone and Wylie.

Retrenched. Replaced. Redundant. What's really happening in today's job market? If you've ever wondered:

Over the weekend, at the United Nations General Assembly, Foreign Minister Winston Peters announced that New Zealand would not formally recognise a Palestinian state. This follows weeks of the Government not explicitly laying out what their plans were regarding recognising Palestine, unlike countries such as France, the UK, Canada, and Australia, who all announced they would be recognising a Palestinian state. The government's decision to not recognise a Palestinian state has received criticisms from the opposition parties, international relations experts, and pro-Palestinian advocates. For our weekly catchup, News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host, Joel, spoke to the ACT Party's Simon Court about the country's decision not to recognise Palestinian statehood. We also discussed the government overhauling the Holidays Act. The changes include a shift to hours-based accrual system for annual leave and a 12.5% Leave Compensation Payment for casual employees as opposed to accruing leave. Joel also spoke to Simon about this topic, specifically about its impact on casual and part-time employees. But first, we discussed the Government's decision not to recognise Palestine.

The country's two largest labour federations, COSATU and SAFTU have been at each other's throat and trading barbs in the days leading up to Workers Day as they sharply differ over proposed labour law amendments. The proposed amendments include changes to the Labour Relations Act, the Basic Conditions of Employment Act, and the Minimum Wage Act. COSATU says it remains confident that the final legislation will continue to protect workers' rights and that such protections will be further extended while SAFTU on the other hand has criticised the amendments claiming that they will put workers under siege and erode workers' hard-won rights guaranteed by the Constitution. COSATU has accused SAFTU of peddling of fake news and falsehoods in pursuit of headlines while SAFTU is accusing COSATU of being party to what they call "secret talks at Nedlac" that will betray workers rights. To find out why they have such divergent views on the proposed labour law amendments Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Mathew Parks - COSATU Parliamentary Co-ordinator and Newton Masuku - SAFTU National Spokesperson

From Tuesday, 1st April 2025, South Africans will see the implementation of the increased earnings threshold that will affect all employees earning more than R261,700 per year, which is around R21 800 per month. The earnings threshold impacts the application of provisions of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act, the Labour Relations Act and the Employment Equity Act. In terms of the new regulations, employees earning more than the earnings threshold are excluded from the provisions which regulate ordinary hours of work, overtime, Sunday pay, pay for night work and pay for work on public holidays among others.

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.

John Maytham speaks to Gary Da Silva, chairperson of Fathers 4 Justice South Africa, about a case which has been taken to the Constitutional Court, where it is being argued that the Basic Conditions of Employment Act and Unemployment Insurance Fund Act discriminates unfairly when it comes to the different categories of paid leave afforded to new parents, generally limiting the amount of leave given to fathers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With the recent unpredictable weather that we have been experiencing, sick leave would be on the rise. Therefore, it is imperative that employers and employees familiarise themselves with the sick leave entitlements as set out in the Basic Conditions of Employment Act 75 of 1997 (BCEA). In this evening session of legal matters, we talk about sick leave and sick notes, and we are joined by Ms. Zanele Chauke, Director in the Employment and Labour law dept at Molatudi Attorneys.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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...

"I'll be the judge of that!" 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.

Whether it's assumptions about technology skills or desires to see a longer tenure from a new hire, older people in the workforce face several hurdles that can result in discrimination allegations. In today's episode, Chuck and John go through three different scenarios where there were violations of the ADEA and how they could have been avoided. In the HR News segment, the team touches on the following topics and more:A social media post inciting hate crime and discrimination issues with the law in MichiganThe importance of keeping up with the official sortsQuestions that can be asked regarding service animalsThe impact of quality sleep on employeesSupport the showThe Ultimate Book of HR Checklists – Getting HR Right: Your Step-by-Step Reference for Avoiding Costly Mistakes.

In a ground-breaking court judgment for new parents, especially fathers, the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg has ruled that both parents are entitled to maternity leave. The High Court ruled that the provisions of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act and the Unemployment Insurance Fund Act regulating parental leave are unconstitutional as they unfairly discriminate against mothers and fathers, surrogates, and adopting parents regarding maternity leave.

Ron calls in to discuss the first ever event called, the Worners Theater Wine Walk. Listen in as Ron explains. A 15-year-old Michigan high school student is facing felonious assault charges after being caught on video throwing a metal chair and hitting a teacher. House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) touted the process and results of the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, saying recently released evidence shows the president was "not just aware" but "connected" to his son Hunter Biden's business deals. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) has predicted that President Joe Biden does not need to worry about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s candidacy in the 2024 presidential election because voters who "support democracy" will vote for the president. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is now an Emmy award-winning producer. Former President Donald Trump will appear in court on Monday for the start of the civil trial regarding his New York business practices.

Although stereotypes about older people proliferate in our culture, employers are not supposed to rely on them when making workplace decisions. Several state and federal laws prohibit employers from discriminating against employees based on age, gender, or race. Still, age and other forms of bias are prevalent in tech and other industries. What protection do older workers have? What exactly does the ADEA (Age Discrimination in Employment Act) say about age discrimination?Today, I have Jennie Woltz and Benjamin Folkinshteyn from Woltz & Folkinshteyn, PC, and they are here to tell you all about the law. They explain the ever-changing labor and employment laws, especially those dealing with older workers in the tech industry. Join us as we discuss the legal rights of employees and applicants over 40 (or even younger). If you are wary about being subjected to age bias or have experienced discrimination because of age, gender, or race, you definitely want to know your rights and options."The best place to be old in tech is when you start your own company."- Jennie WoltzIn This Episode:-What are the protections for people over 40 in any industry in the US?-What do you need for an age discrimination case to be successful?-What do statistics show regarding age discrimination vs. race or gender discrimination cases? Why is there a higher burden of proof for age discrimination cases?-What are the limitations of the ADEA?-Exclusionary language in advertisements that discourages older applicants-What does the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission report say about diversity in tech?-What are the legal rights of employees over 40 worried about being laid off or recently laid off, possibly because of age?-How would you handle a situation where you got laid off and saw someone markedly younger taking over your previous job? Can that be considered age discrimination?-Does the law also apply to applicants? What rights do applicants have to protect themselves from age, gender, or race discrimination?-What can people in tech over 40 do to protect themselves from age bias as they stay employed in their companies?And much more.Resources:-The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 - https://www.eeoc.gov/statutes/age-discrimination-employment-act-1967-EEOC 2014 Diversity in High Tech report - https://www.eeoc.gov/special-report/diversity-high-techConnect with Woltz & Folkinshteyn, PC:-Website: https://wfpclaw.com/-Jennie Woltz LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennie-woltz-6292471a/-Benjamin Folkinshteyn LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjamin-folkinshteyn-8b9731103/Connect with Maureen Clough:-Instagram: @itgetslateearly - https://www.instagram.com/itgetslateearly/-YouTube:

Matthew Boyd (5-5) allowed two runs and six hits in six innings for Detroit. He struck out seven without a walk. Brady Singer (4-7) lost his third straight decision, giving up five runs, seven hits and a walk in seven innings. Báez put the Tigers ahead 4-2 in the third, driving in Kerry Carpenter with his 1,000th hit. Cubs 8, Pirates 3 – Hendricks shuts down reeling Pirates as Cubs complete 3-game sweep with 8-3 victory Kyle Hendricks pitched effectively into the seventh inning and the Chicago Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-3 to complete a three-game sweep. Nico Hoerner homered and tripled for the Cubs, who have won eight of nine. Ian Happ doubled twice and drove in three runs for Chicago. Josh Palacios had an RBI double for Pittsburgh but couldn’t stop the Pirates from dropping their ninth straight game. Pittsburgh has managed just 20 runs during a slide that’s seen the Pirates drop from first to fourth in the NL Central. Rangers 6, White Sox 3 – Heim homers as Rangers beat the White Sox 6-3 Jonah Heim hit a three-run homer a night after he was involved in a controversial play at the plate and the Texas Rangers beat the Chicago White Sox 6-3. Ezequiel Duran also connected as Texas won for the fourth time in five games. Martín Pérez pitched seven effective innings in his first victory in a month. The AL West leaders bounced back nicely after a frustrating 7-6 loss on Tuesday night. Chicago scored the winning run in its three-run eighth when Heim was called for illegally blocking the plate in a replay review that overturned umpire D.J. Reyburn’s out call. Today Tigers, Cubs, and White Sox are off MLB – MLB sued by 17 ex-scouts who say they were discriminated against because of age Seventeen former Major League Baseball scouts who say they were discriminated against because of their age have sued the league, its teams and Commissioner Rob Manfred. The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Denver. The former scouts allege violations of the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 along with laws in 11 states and New York City. The scouts, ranging from 55 to 71, allege they were discriminated against from 2020-22. MLB said in a statement it looks "forward to refuting these claims in court.” NBA – NBA-champion Nuggets trade into the 1st round by swapping picks with the Pacers The NBA-champion Denver Nuggets struck a deal with Indiana to acquire a first-round round pick in the draft on Thursday night. The teams agreed to a deal that also gives the Nuggets the 32nd overall pick, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. The Pacers will receive the 40th pick in this year’s draft from Denver and a first-round pick in 2024. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade has yet to be announced. NBA – With Wembanyama, there’s no debate at the top of NBA draft Victor Wembanyama’s towering shadow has hung over this NBA draft for months, blocking much of what is usually part of the process. There has been no debate about who the San Antonio Spurs should take with the No. 1 pick on Thursday night. When a player like Wembanyama comes along — and maybe none ever has — there’s no real reason to drum up any drama. The Spurs are not going to pass up someone who is listed at 7’4” but has the skills of a player much smaller. The 19-year-old from France has been called the best prospect since LeBron James came out of high school in 2003. NBA – NBA Draft Picks Detroit, 5, 31        Chicago: 11 (traded to Orlando), 42 (traded to Washington) Indiana: 7, 26 (from Cleveland), 40 (from Dallas), 55 (from Cleveland) WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Tonight Washington Mystics at Chicago Sky, 8:00 p.m. Indiana Fever at Seattle Storm, 10:00 p.m. Golf – PGA Tour will appear before a Senate panel investigating its deal with LIV A Senate subcommittee is asking executives from the PGA Tour, Saudi golf interests and LIV Golf to testify as Congress investigates the shocking business deal that upended the sport. Sen. Richard Blumenthal announced Wednesday that the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations would hold a hearing on July 11 to examine the stunning agreement the PGA Tour now has with Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund and the European tour. He invited PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan, Public Investment Fund Governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan and LIV CEO Greg Norman to testify. The PGA Tour said in a statement that it looked forward to appearing to answer questions about the “framework agreement.” Golf – Zhang seeking to follow win in pro debut with a win at a major Rose Zhang turned professional with many expecting great things and she didn’t disappoint, winning the Mizuho Americas Open in her debut. The 20-year-old, two-time NCAA individual champion will look to keep it going this week when she takes on the best in women’s golf in the Women’s PGA Championship at Baltustol in Springfield, New Jersey. The task will be tougher this week with all 11 winners on the LPGA Tour and 19 of the top 20 players in the world entered in the event. Zhang said the biggest change for her has been the demands on her time. Hockey – Henrik Lundqvist headlines the Hockey Hall of Fame’s goalie-heavy class of 2023 Henrik Lundqvist headlines the Hockey Hall of Fame’s goaltender-heavy class of 2023. Fellow netminders Tom Barrasso and Red Wing Mike Vernon were also among the five players elected. Former NHL forward Pierre Turgeon and Canadian women’s hockey star Caroline Ouellette were also chosen. Stanley Cup-winning coach Ken Hitchcock and late executive Pierre Lacroix were picked in the builder category. Lundqvist is set to be inducted into the Hall in his first year of eligibility after winning Olympic gold for Sweden in 2006 and a pro career that included backstopping the New York Rangers to 11 playoff appearances in 12 seasons.  Vernon was so surprised he thought board chairman Lanny McDonald, a teammate when they won the Cup together with Calgary in 1989, was calling to ask him to play golf. The two-time Cup champion who was also playoff MVP when he won it in 1997 with Detroit had been eligible since 2005.  "The game has meant a lot to me throughout my life," Vernon said. “It is an emotional time for me. Might be a long time coming, but it’s still worth it.” FIFA – WWC – Morgan and Rapinoe selected for the US Women’s World Cup roster Eighteen-year-old Alyssa Thompson is among the 23 players selected for the United States team that will defend its title at the Women’s World Cup next month. Thompson is among a mix of veteran and newcomers named Wednesday to the team by head coach Vlatko Andonovski. Among the experienced players are Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan, who will each be making a fourth World Cup appearance in Australia and New Zealand. Thompson is joined by fellow up-and-coming stars Sophia Smith and Trinity Rodman, who is the daughter of former NBA star Dennis Rodman. Olympics – IOC warns Afghanistan about Olympic status over denying sports to women The Afghanistan team’s status for the 2024 Paris Olympics has been put in question by the IOC over growing frustration with the Taliban blocking access to sport for women and girls. The International Olympic Committee says it “continues to be extremely concerned” about the sports situation in Afghanistan despite its repeated calls for action. The IOC says it has the right to take further measures. And it notes details for an Afghanistan delegation going to the Paris Games haven’t been decided. The IOC could suspend Afghanistan’s Olympic body for government interference and support athletes to compete as an independent team.

Nico Hoerner homered and tripled for the Cubs, who have won eight of nine. Ian Happ doubled twice and drove in three runs for Chicago. Josh Palacios had an RBI double for Pittsburgh but couldn’t stop the Pirates from dropping their ninth straight game.

2023年1月3号， 有一个贴文在网上引起了热议。那就是雇主应不应该付给实习生薪水，还是理应实习生应该付给雇主薪水？难道雇主可以因为他们传授知识和技能给实习生，就可以不付实习生任何工资吗？ 不仅如此，根据调查，实习生是不受 Employment Act 1995所保护的。那么如果实习生在职场发生了职场伤害，那么实习生也还是不受到劳工法所保护吗？那么当实习生受到不公平的待遇时，能向谁求助？又有谁能来把保护他们的权益呢？ 主持人： Veron银川 & Kelly 官网：https://cityplusfm.my/category/新闻懒人包

The amendments were initially supposed to come into play in September 2022, but was deferred as it seemed like companies were generally not ready, with some, including the Malaysian Employers Federation, attributing this to businesses still having to manage and adapt to the aftermath of the pandemic, the recent floods, and other uncertainties on the global stage.So what does this mean for companies moving forward? The Enterprise team discussed this with Canna Tan, a senior HR manager.Photo Credit : Shutterstock | eamesBot

SEESA Legal Advisors, Ryan King and Johan du Plessis discuss the principle of Double Jeopardy and whether an employer may recover damages from the accused employee. When an employee causes damage to the property of the employer, or the employee's misconduct causes his employer to suffer loss, the employer may implement disciplinary action against the employee but may also recover the costs from the employee for the actual loss incurred. Taking both actions against the employee will not constitute Double Jeopardy provided that the employer complies with section 34 of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act.

In this episode we are going to look at the relief package that is being kicked around between the House and the Senate, and what some of the provisions might mean for employers and employment law. President Joe Biden’s goals are clear and well outlined (https://joebiden.com/covid-plan/). They indicate a number of desired changes that would influence employment law. We are pleased to have back with us today the illustrious Maggie Spell (https://www.joneswalker.com/professionals/mary-margaret-spell.html), partner at the New Orleans location of Jones Walker (https://www.joneswalker.com). Maggie focuses her practice on cases brought under federal, state, and local employment laws, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. She regularly offers wage and hour compliance advice and has represented employers in numerous Fair Labor Standards Act collective actions and state-law wage and hour class actions.

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 is theoretically assumed to protect people 40 years of age and older from employment discrimination but like many laws, it really doesn't live up to the reason it was created. If you are an older person in the workplace, you need to know the Age Discrimination Act is not going to protect you. Companies and their Human Resource Departments have several techniques at their disposal to phase out older employees.   This podcast episode talks about the ways companies get rid of older workers so they do not get in trouble for age discrimination.   Visit Our Website: https://smartstartmoney.com Subscribe to the Podcast:  https://smartstartmoney.podbean.com/ Questions or Comments About the Podcast?

Brandon & Jonathan rant about how the COVID lockdowns have increased the depression and suicide rates all across the country. Brian Tally joins the show to talk about his own experience with the VA hospital and its method to treat the problem with a band aid and cover up its the tracks. While there are good doctors at the VA, a majority of veterans feel like doctors don't take time to listen to the actual concerns of the veteran. Clinicians, at times, don't have the time to properly diagnose and treat the veterans for the actual complaints. Brian almost lost his life to medical malpractice by a VA doctor in 2015. He is now working with Congress to pass the #TallyBill “The Brian Tally VA Transparency and Employment Act”. For more details about H.R.4526 and S.B.4883, check out http://www.tallyteam.net/ (www.tallyteam.net).
