Establishes a rebuttable presumption of retaliation or discrimination for employers in certain employment disputes and limits employer remedies.
The bill, known as the "faithless servant reform act," creates a rebuttable presumption of retaliation or discrimination when an employer files or threatens to file a claim seeking the forfeiture of an employee's compensation. It places the burden of proof on the employer to show that the employee's conduct was pervasive and egregious. The bill also limits the employer's remedy of forfeiture to compensation for the pay periods during which the disloyal acts occurred, excluding minimum wage and overtime compensation.
