Employers: Here's a Fun Way to Test your Legal Knowledge:

Test yourself by answering the following questions about current employment and labor laws. Contact us if any questions about your specific employment practices arise.

1. Does an employer need a good reason or cause to fire an employee?
2. Profit margins are low right now; can the business have an agreement with employees that they will not be paid overtime?
3. We are going to lay off an employee today; can we wait until the next pay day to pay the employee?
4. A receptionist has asked for time off to go to her child’s parent teacher conference; do we have to give her the time?
5. Can we have a rule that employees can only speak English while at work?
6. Many of our customers are Vietnamese. Can we run a job ad and require that the job applicant be able to speak Vietnamese?
7. Before an employer can fire an employee for stealing, does the employer have to be able to prove that the employee actually did steal?
8. Sally Jones, a white female, marries Juan Gomez, and then applies for a job. The employer refuses to hire Mrs. Gomez because she is Hispanic. Has the company violated the law?
9. This year, July 4 fell on a Wednesday. If the employer has a policy of paying for holidays, and the employee works the Saturday after July 4 at the employer’s request, does the employee get paid overtime for the Saturday work?
10. Does an employer have the right to read any email sent or received by any employee on a company computer?
11. Must an employer give family leave to an employee to care for the serious health condition of his common law wife?
12. Can an employer just pay employees a commission?
13. Is it true that the employer is not responsible if a customer is sexually harassing an employee?
14. If the employer learns from a background check that a job applicant has previously filed a workers’ compensation claim, can the employer refuse to hire that person?
