One of those truths is that in general no one owes you tenure in your job, even if you do it well. In our society, the principle of employment at will is still (fortunately) given much legal weight, meaning that an employment relationship continues only if both sides want it to. And a consequence of that might just be that the law creates no right to slag your employer on your Facebook page one evening and demand that your employer overlook it the next morning: So, why am I in favor of companies being able to terminate an employee for online behavior? (These things, of course, aren’t limite...

In 2001, the West Virginia Legislature passed the Patient Safety Act (“PSA”), W.Va. Code § 16-39-1 et seq. The purpose of the PSA was to provide an avenue for health care workers to report instances of waste or wrongdoing without the fear of retaliatory or discriminatory treatment by their employers through termination, demotion, reduction of time, lost wage, or lost benefits. The PSA requires the identity of a health care worker who reports waste or wrongdoing to a health care entity (e.g., hospital, clinic, nursing facility, etc.) or appr...

I see no practical, effective way to utilize the IAT in actual employment cases.  Moreover, by far the biggest problem in employment law that any one studying our actual cases would discern is the surfeit of meritless cases.  The ease with which many weak cases get by summary judgment and the likelihood of substantial litigation expense lead to settlement o...

Moreover, the drugmaker is reportedly pioneering a capped-fee arrangement for the outside legal work, according to Corporate Counsel. The winning law firm, Jackson Lewis, gets paid a certain sum each month, but has agreed to forgo billable hours. Pfizer, meanwhile, gets to recoup any money left over at the end of the year, based on a monthly accounting of time the firm spends on Pfizer legal work. “Jackson Lewis got it because they recognized that we needed to find some alternative to billing by the hour. They actually brought it up before we did,” Maggie Madden, who heads Pfizer’s employment law group, tells Co...
