SOCIAL MEDIA: CAN EMPLOYERS CONTROL THE PANDORA'S BOX OPENED BY EMPLOYEES' INCREASING USE OF TECHNOLOGY
Government agencies and the courts take a strong interest in how employers deal with employees' use of social media. Did you know that the National Labor Relations Board may prohibit employers from disciplining employees who post about their working conditions on Facebook? The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission may weigh in about how employers use social media for recruiting. Learn how to address these issues and social media issues involving disclosure of confidential information and trade secrets; data privacy and security breaches; and damage to morale, reputation or goodwill. Your panel of employment lawyers also will analyze potential legal pitfalls such as wage and hour considerations; off-duty conduct laws; and whistle blowing protections. These and other cutting edge social media issues will be the subject of this overview
