Don’t Let One Disgruntled Employee Put Your Business at Risk

Man carrying box of personal effects It’s estimated that 80% of employment-related allegations have no grounds. However, frivolous lawsuits can cost your company tens of thousands of dollars in defense costs and, especially, damages should you lose. For this reason, and for some companies, employment related lawsuits can be catastrophic.

While sexual harassment lawsuits make the news, allegations for a broad range of employment-related actions are equally – if not more – prevalent.

Nine Potential Employment Practices Liability Risks

  1. Failure to hire
  2. Failure to promote
  3. Wrongful termination
  4. Discrimination
  5. Breach of employment contract of promise (written or oral)
  6. Negligent evaluation
  7. Defamation or affliction of emotional stress
