discrimination

We are in unusual times. The answer before the virus would have been that the employer may not discriminate between employees who have school age children and those who do not. However, the virus is changing the rules of the game. Older employees or employees with compromised health cannot be forced to work. Will the courts rule against an employer who kept people employed and tried to make accomodations for employees with children ? I am not convinced this will happen. This is further complicated by the federal government loan and grant program which encourages employers to keep employees paid even if they sre at home. Ed Dimon, Esq. 732-797-1600 ext 235
