Employer Rights eLearning Guide for Owners and Managers Description
State and federal laws grant numerous rights to American workers to protect their safety and health, to guarantee timely payment of a fair wage for hours worked, and to ensure that all workers are treated fairly and equally regardless of gender, race, national origin, or other protected characteristics. Most of these employment laws also grant specific legal rights to employers. Knowing how and when to assert these rights can help businesses mitigate legal risks, avoid false claims, avoid or reduce government penalties, impose terms and conditions of employment, and maximize business productivity.
Employers who fail to exercise their legal rights are more susceptible to legal issues, lost productivity, and workplace theft. A Gallup report estimates that 70% of workers are not engaged in their jobs, costing businesses over $450 billion each year in lost productivity. Meanwhile, employee-related litigation has risen 400% over the last 20 years, and the average case settlement in employee-related lawsuits is $75,000. What's more, according to recent statistics, nearly 80% of all U.S. corporations have been involved in litigation with a former employee. Employers who understand their legal rights, and know when to exercise them, can minimize the potential for legal issues.
