Park Avenue Presentations

Terminating Employees for Misconduct Outside of Work

Duration: 90 minutes

Speaker: Dr. Jim Castagnera, Esq.

 

Webinar Description

What your employees do on their own time would seem at first blush to be their own business.  On further consideration, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that employees’ bad behavior away from work and outside working hours can rebound on your organization’s reputation, even its bottom line, as well the health & safety of the rest of the workforce.

This harsh reality really hit home during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Irresponsible co-workers, who ignored safety protocols and who placed themselves in harm’s way brought COVID into their workspaces to everyone’s detriment, including the company’s. 

Drug and alcohol abuse, recreational marijuana, illegal and immoral conduct, domestic abuse.... the list goes on.  All such conduct reverberates in the workplace.  And yet, you intervene in such behavior at your legal peril: legal-activities laws, invasion of privacy torts, discrimination statutes… all pose legal hazards.  What’s a harried employer or HR professional to do?
