Celebrate Less Holiday Party Liability -

Taming the Wild Holiday Office Party Follow these guidelines to reduce your business liability.

While "wild" office parties are less common than in the past, no employer can be completely free from liability. Here are some ways you can help reduce your exposure to legal claims this holiday season: 1.     Review company policies, including non-harassment, sexual harassment, substance abuse, dress code, and wage and hour rules prior to the party. 2.     Remind employees that they are still required to follow all company policies during company functions. 3.     Organize a company luncheon during working hours instead of a dinner party. 4.     Be cognizant of different religions and beliefs and make accommodations as appropriate. 5.     Ensure company officials and management are aware that their responsibilities don't stop during the party.
