Description: These challenging times highlight the need to ensure and further the civil rights of those we serve as attorneys and others. Join us for this informative class that will discuss existing D.C. anti-discrimination statutes as well as new amendments that codified and expanded the definition of “harassment” and removed the exclusion of domestic workers from the Human Rights Act. The class will cover the following statutes:
- The D.C. Human Rights Act of 1977, as amended (including domestic workers protection and expansion of the definition of “harassment”)
- The D.C. Family and Medical Leave Act of 1990
- The D.C. Parental Leave Act
- The D.C. Fair Criminal Records Screening Amendment Act
- The Unemployed Anti-Discrimination Act
- The Protecting Pregnant Workers Fairness Act
- The Employment Protections for Victims of Domestic Violence, Sexual Offenses, and Stalking Amendment Act of 2018
- The Universal Paid Leave Amendment Act of 2016 (applicable provisions went into effect July 2020)
- The Tipped Wage Workers Fairness Act of 2018
Our faculty expert will also cover the administrative process at the Office of Human Rights, including the probable cause standard at the investigation phase as well as the litigation process at the public hearing phase. Those who attend can expect to gain a better understanding of existing D.C. employment laws, learn about new laws, and the “nuts and bolts” of the administrative process at OHR.
While this class will be of interest to all attorneys and others, a working knowledge of basic employment law is helpful.
