Overview

While this webcast is open to all EIA members, some of the Eyres Law Group Services are only available to members of the PWC and/or GLl programs.

Discrimination claims based on body art, physical appearance, “new age” religious practices, gender identity and other privacy/personal issues are on the rise. On top of that, there are mounting conflicts over how to handle situations where the constitutional rights of government employees may conflict with their performance of official duties. This webinar will explore these cutting edge issues and provide guidance for public entity employers for current management practices and anticipated future trends.

This webinar will address the following areas:

• Key elements of a lawful appearance and behavior policy
• Where can your agency draw the line on body art or visible symbols and controversial clothing that public employees want to wear to work, and in the community?
• How to handle political expressions in and outside the workplace in an extended election year cycle.
• Regulating off duty behavior – what’s lawful and what’s not – and assuring due process protections for government workers.
• How to have the difficult discussion with an employee who violates appearance or conduct policies, and what to document in writing.
