In this episode, the hosts sit down with Ben Earwicker, Director of the Idaho Human Rights Commission (IHRC), to discuss best practices for responding to IHRC complaints, common pitfalls, and what employers can expect when working with the Commission. The discussion also covers the evolving role of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) under the current administration, key changes in federal enforcement priorities, and how the IHRC is approaching these shifts. Plus, they dive into the 2024 amendments to the Idaho Human Rights Act (IHRA), explaining what they mean for Idaho employers with potential conflicts between state and federal law.
