Congratulations on your new job as human resources manager! You pour a cup of coffee and settle into your seat to hear the following reports from staff members: Now that vaccines for COVID-19 are readily available, we are insisting that all employees must be vaccinated. Any employee who does not comply will be terminated. No exceptions! In the interest of security, we now have a firm that checks the backgrounds of our job candidates. Anyone with an arrest or conviction is immediately dropped from consideration for employment. Some of our employees have taken to demonstrating outside of our offices during their lunchbreaks to protest what they see as our insufficient commitment to diversity and inclusion. It makes us look bad. The protesters should be informed that their lack of loyalty makes them ineligible for promotion.

Make sure that all of our employees and new hires sign Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). Let our employees know that we intend to vigorously enforce these agreements against any employees who divulge internal company information to government agencies, the press, or any other party. You get up to get anotherlargecup of coffee and feel fortunate that you were paying attention during that employment law class you took. Which legal issues emerged during this staff meeting? What should this company be doing differently to better comply with the law? Although you might not encounter this many legal problems in one sitting, employment law pervades virtually every aspect of human resources practice, and managers regularly confront employment law questions.
