1.George is an accountant with responsibility for Company A's tax returns.Together with the CFO, they file tax returns that take some very aggressive tax positions that possibly cross the line into tax fraud.George's job performance later deteriorates due to heavy drinking, and the CFO tells him he has to let him go.George says he will voluntarily resign but the company must pay him $100,000 per year for two years as severance (which is much higher than the company's usual severance), and that unless he gets that severance package, he'll call the IRS whistleblower hotline and report the details about the tax returns.The CFO agrees to George's demand for severance to keep the situation from blowing up.Three months later, the CEO learns about all of this, fires the CFO and stops the severance payments.If George sues the company to collect the remainder of his severance payments:

A)George should win because it was wrong to let him go in the first place.

B)George should win because his alcohol use is a protected disability.

C)George should lose because his threats to report to the IRS create the kind of coercion, duress and undue influence that can justify rescission of the contract for severance payments

D)George should lose because his drinking caused him to lack capacity

2.Employers are not permitted to maintain a seniority system for compensation or re-hiring of laid off workers if it can be shown that the result disproportionately discriminates against women.

B)False
