Politics in the Workplace: Considerations for Employers as the Presidential Election Approaches

As the presidential election approaches, the potential for political discord to spill into the workplace is heightened. On this episode of “Just Compensation,” Megan Monson talks with Amy C. Schwind about legal and practical considerations involved with political expression in and related to the workplace, as well as ways to mitigate legal risk. The lawyers explore issues that may give rise to liability for employers, such as political conversations impacting protected classes, as well as topics such as off-duty conduct laws, rules and policies related to political expression, and giving employees time off to vote.
