Web 2.0: Hiring & Firing Decisions Based on Social Media Postings

Larry Besnoff, Esquire, Co-Chair of the Labor Relations and Employment Law Department at Obermayer Rebmann Maxwell & Hippel LLP, will lead a lively and interactive presentation regarding the potential pitfalls with using personal information gleaned from the Internet in making hiring and firing decisions. Are employers free to use information placed on social networking sites as a basis for employment decisions? Is the information privileged? How reliable are the data? What if the information is inaccurate? Can employers search employees' usage of social networking sites? What happens when the employee's first amendment rights conflict with an employer's interests? If an employer fails to Google and check social networking sites, is it being set up for a negligent hire or negligent retention claim? Must applicants be told that the employer will Google all applicants? This Webinar addresses these and other interesting questions.
