Labor attorneys are warning employers that Halloween could get scary -- in a legal way -- if costumes, or a work party, get out of hand. French maid, naughty nurse, kitten, toga, Tarzan or construction worker costumes could set the stage for harassment, attorneys warn. Ghosts or goblins might offend someone's religious beliefs, and political costumes could create tension. And someone in a great big pumpkin costume could trip at the company party and trigger a slip-and-fall claim.
