Halunen Law - Top 10 List of Emploment Rights

Be Informed! Here’s a Top Ten List of Employment Rights

August 30, 2016/in BLOG, EMPLOYMENT /by Halunen Law

Halunen Law - Top 10 List of Emploment Rights

Whether you are new to the job market or are a seasoned employee, there are laws in place to protect your rights. This useful “Top 10” list of employment laws gives a good outline of out-of-bounds illegal employment practices. A few highlights you may / may not know:  Managers cannot discriminate in hiring based on a person’s race, religion, sex or national origin. When an hourly employee works overtime, a manager usually must pay that employee time-and-a-half. A person’s age shouldn’t be taken into account when making a decision on hiring, firing, pay, benefits or promotions. A manger can’t immediately reject applicants by believing their disability would prevent them from doing a job. 

From military leave to gender equity, pregnancy policies to immigration requirements, be informed. Read the full article of The 10 Employment Laws Every Manager Should Know.

Halunen Law - Protecting the Public with Wistlblower Protections

Protecting the Public with Whistleblower Protections

Halunen Law - Protecting the Public with Wistlblower Protections

The Star Tribune published an article today about how a mental health agency, Complementary Support Services, that was supposed to provide quality services to a vulnerable population, instead is reported to have engaged in rampant fraud that “bilked the state’s Medicaid program of millions of dollars and provided inadequate supervision of unlicensed practitioners.” That private agency is now the subject of a federal and state False Claims Act qui tam lawsuit that resulted from a report to the government by a former employee.

The False Claims Act is designed to encourage citizens to challenge conduct that cheats private agency clients and wrongfully takes taxpayers money to do so. It also provides whistleblower protection to employees who are treated badly or fired because they challenge, report or refuse to engage in illegal conduct. The goal of the law is to stop fraud in its tracks by encouraging oversight by employees, recipients of services and the public.
