Is Employees’ Off-Duty Conduct Off-Limits for Employers? Navigating the Legality of Dealing (or Not Dealing) with Employees’ Conduct Outside the Workplace

November 11, 2020

Employers often learn information they’d rather not know about employees’ off-duty conduct. For example, comments posted on social media about co-workers, recreational drug use, or even personal opinions can raise questions internally and externally. The legalities of disciplining or making other employment decisions based on off-duty conduct vary between types of behavior and differs by state. In this webinar, presenters Molly DiBianca and Zachary Kimmel address the various legal and practical issues that matter to employers and HR professionals when confronting how to handle the conduct of employees outside the workplace.
