Deadline to Register: October 20, 2015
Earlier this year, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its
heavily-anticipated decision in Young v. UPS, which provided the framework for
pregnant employees to challenge employers’ workplace accommodation policies and
practices and the resulting disparate impact. The Court further explained
the necessary evidence employers must present to defeat such challenges.
In this presentation, you will learn about the facts and arguments leading up to
the Court’s 6-3 decision and what the accommodation process looks like today
after that decision. This seminar also will address evidentiary issues
under the PDA, who is considered to be a similarly-situated employee, direct and
indirect evidence of disparate impact, and what constitutes legitimate,
non-discriminatory policies and practices. Finally, this presentation will
examine the interplay of Young, the EEOC’s Guidelines, and Minnesota
law.
Lunch and registration will begin at 11:30. The program will begin at noon.
