Laws around discrimination on the basis of sex are nothing new but the conversation and nuance around it has changed. While political climates have made conversations around gender and sex a heated topic, how do you ensure your employees, management, and HR policies align with the law, not personal opinions. In today’s episode, Chuck and John take you through three stories where companies failed to follow these laws and show you what you can learn from them to avoid the same legal fate.

In the HR News segment, the team touches on the following topics and more:

  • Department of Labor - Wage and hour threshold is going up!
  • HRIS systems in the crosshairs for technology failures
  • Supreme Court (kind of) weighs in on the independent contractor debate
  • Being authentically you at work - most think they can’t be
  • Employees are scared of HR - How to make sure your employees come to you first.
