It’s that time of year! Tis the season for toasts and traditions, presents and parties, secret Santa’s and sexual harassment, lawyers and lawsuits. . . Wait, what? Unfortunately, it’s true. Santa is not the only one looking to see who’s been naughty or nice this year. As much as we all love a good party, they create increased risks of liability for employers. Common issues involve worker’s compensation claims, sexual harassment complaints, and social host liability. While employers should take these risks into consideration, don’t cancel the party just yet! There are some simple ways for employers to minimize their risks. Without question, planning ahead and limiting alcohol consumption are two key ways to celebrate the season—without getting sued.
