Chapter Objective gh




The student is introduced to the regulatory environment of the employment relationship. The
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



g chapter examines whether regulation is actually necessary or beneficial or if, perhaps, the
h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



relationship would fare better with less governmental intervention. The concepts of ―freedom‖
g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



to contract in the regulatory employment environment and non-compete agreements are
gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



discussed. Since the regulations and case law discussed in this text rely on an individual‘s
gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



classification as an employer or an employee, those definitions are delineated and
gh gh gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



explored.

At the conclusion of this chapter, the students should be able to:
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



1. Describe the balance between the freedom to contract and the current gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




regulatory environment for employment.
gh g h gh gh gh



2. Identify who is subject to which employment laws and understand the implication of eachof
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




these laws for both the employer and employee.
g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




3. Delineate the risks to the employer caused by employee misclassification. gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



4. Explain the difference between and employee and an independent contractor and the
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




tests that help us in that determination.
gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh



5. Articulate the various ways in which the concept ―employer‖ is defined by thegh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




various employment-related regulations.

6. Describe the permissible parameters of non-compete agreements. gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




Detailed Chapter Outline gh gh




Scenarios—Points for Discussion gh gh

, Scenario One: This scenario offers an opportunity to review the distinctions between an
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



g employee and an independent contractor discussed in the chapter (see ―The Definition of
h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



g Employee,‖ particularly Exhibits 1.3–1.5). Discuss the IRS 20-factor analysis, as it applies to
h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



Dalia‘s position. In light of the low level of control that Dalia had over her fees and her
g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



work process, and the limits upon her choice of clients, students should come to the conclusion
gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



that Dalia is an employee (therefore, eligible to file an unemployment claim), rather than
gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



an independent contractor.
gh g h gh




Scenario Two: Soraya would not have a cause of action that would be recognized by the
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



EEOC. Review the section ―The Definition of ‗Employer‘‖ with students, and discuss the
gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



rationale that determines the status of a supervisor vis-à-vis anti-discrimination legislation.
gh gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



Because Soraya is
gh Soraya‘s supervisor, not her employer, he cannot be the target of an
gh gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



EEOC claim of sexual harassment.
gh gh gh gh g h




CCC, Soraya‘s employer, would be vulnerable to an EEOC claim if the company lacked or
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



failedto follow a system for employee redress of discrimination grievances. However, in this
gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



case, CCC appears to have a viable anti-discrimination policy that it adhered to diligently;
gh gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



consequently, Soraya would be unlikely to win a decision in her favor. The court in Williams v.
gh gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



Banning (1995) offered the following rationale for its decision in a similar case:
gh gh gh gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



―She has an employer who was sensitive and responsive to her complaint. She can take
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



comfort in the knowledge that she continues to work for this company, while her
g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



harasser does not and that the company's prompt action is likely to discourage other
gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



would be harassers. This is precisely the result Title VII was meant to achieve.‖
gh gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




Scenario Three: Students should discuss whether or not Mya non-compete agreement is likely tobe
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



g found reasonable by a court, and elaborate the aspects of the agreement that Mya might
h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



contest as unreasonable (see section below, ―Covenants Not to Compete‖). Does Mya have a
gh gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



persuasive argument that the terms of her non-compete agreement are unreasonable in scope
gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



or duration?
gh gh



Might she have grounds to claim that the agreement prohibits her from making a living?
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




Given the diversity of state laws regulating non-compete agreements, discuss the range of legal
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



g restrictions that might apply to Mya‘s particular agreement with her employer. As an
h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



employeewho works across several states, Mya‘s defense may depend upon the presence—
gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



and specific language—of a forum selection clause in her non-compete agreement. Consider
gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



what language would be more likely to provide Nan with a strong defense against the breach
gh gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



of contract claim.
gh gh gh




Mya might also argue that the company‘s client list is available through public means, and
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



gtherefore, her access to this list should not be prohibited.

General Lecture Note for Employment Law Course gh gh gh gh gh gh




In order to teach this course, instructors have found that students must be made to feel relatively
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



g comfortable with their peers. Instructors will be asking the students to be honest and to stay
h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



in their truth, even at times when they feel that their opinion on one of these matters will not
gh g h gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh



be
