HR Seminar Series: Recently Declared Illegal Handbook and Social Media Policies

Tuesday, December 1, 2015 (8:00 AM - 9:00 AM) (EST)

Description

Recently, the General Counsel of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) sent a 30-page memorandum to all Regional Directors, Officers in Charge and Resident Officers concerning Board decisions on employer handbook policies and social media rules which have been declared inappropriate and  illegal by the Board. The types of policies or rules which are most frequently at issue are confidentiality rules, professionalism rules, anti-harassment rules, trade mark rules, photocopy/recording rules and media contact rules.

In this seminar you will learn the handbook policies and social media rules which have been determined to be both inappropriate and illegal by the NLRB. 

For example, the Board has determined that it is illegal for any company to establish policies or rules such as the following:
 
  • Employees must not discuss wages, salaries, benefits or other terms and conditions of work with other employees or anyone outside the company.
  • Employees may make no “defamatory, libelous, slanderous or discriminatory comments about the Company, its customers and/or competitors, its employees or management.”
  • Employees may not disclose confidential financial data, or other non-public proprietary company information.
  • Employees must not engage in disrespectful, negative, inappropriate or rude conduct towards the employer or management.
These and other common employer policies/rules will be discussed along with possible suggested alternatives which may be acceptable to the members of the National Labor Relations Board.
