Supreme Court Allows Department of Labor to Change Interpretation Without Comment - Mortgage Loan Officers Remain Non-Exempt for FLSA Purposes
  
In 2010, the United States Department of Labor published an Administrator Interpretations Letter (FLSA 2010-1) which reversed previous interpretations handed down by the Department and concluded that Mortgage Loan Officers were non-exempt from overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

courtroom U.S. Supreme Court Rules McDonnell Douglas Applies to Pregnancy Accommodation Claims Discrimination Guidelines

 

Applying the McDonnell Douglas standard to a UPS driver's Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) claim, which asserted that UPS accommodated lifting restrictions for those with on-the-job injuries or disabilities but categorically and unlawfully refused to accommodate pregnant employees' lifting restrictions, a divided Supreme Court found an issue of fact on whether UPS gave more favorable treatment to at least some workers whose situations cannot reasonably be distinguished from the employee's situation.
 

   

 

                

 

EEOC to Examine Workplace Harassment in Greater Detail 


Sexual harassment has been a focal for decades due to high profile cases, increased legislation and heighted awareness through the training of supervisors and employees alike.  As a result, Sexual Harassment remains one of the most heavily litigated employment subjects.  For Fiscal Year 2014, there were 6,862 charges of Sexual Harassment filed at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). 

However, unlawful harassment goes beyond sexual harassment and can reach out to other forms as well.
