Did you know? It’s prohibited under state and federal law to discourage, discriminate, or retaliate against employees taking protected leave. Recently, “Microsoft has agreed to pay $14.4 million to resolve allegations of penalizing employees for taking protected forms of leave with the California Civil Rights Department…The [department] alleged that employees who used parental and other types of protected leave received lower bonuses and unfavorable performance reviews…As part of the settlement, which resolves a multiyear investigation into the tech company, Microsoft has committed to take a number of steps to prevent future discrimination and provide monetary relief to employees who used protected leave at the company in California between 2017 and 2024…The company will also retain an independent consultant to make recommendations on personnel policies and practices and report annually on compliance with the agreement.” (read more here: https://lnkd.in/gSaFHnNf ) Staying up to date on compliance can be stressful and time-consuming, but it’s key in avoiding negative consequences. When you partner with us, we’ll take the complexity out of compliance, so you can focus on what’s important, the success of your employees.
