Ready to test your employment law knowledge and uncover critical distinctions in the workplace? Join Mark for a pop quiz to test your knowledge. We promise you'll gain valuable insights into the differences between employees and independent contractors, understand the key protected classes under federal anti-discrimination laws, and grasp the essentials of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). From the nuances of at-will employment to the requirements of the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), we cover it all to ensure you're well-versed in these crucial topics.

But that's not all. This episode goes further by dissecting the complexities of workplace discrimination and harassment. By distinguishing between disparate treatment and disparate impact, we offer practical advice on handling harassment and discrimination. Learn the importance of internal reporting and the pivotal role of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). We also stress the need for proactive measures from employers, including training and establishing robust reporting procedures. To wrap things up, we tackle the frustration with ineffective solutions and advocate for stronger actions like filing complaints and public shaming to create a safer work environment. Tune in and stay vigilant!
