HB64

Pennsylvania HB64 protects employees from being penalized for not participating in religious or political meetings at work.

Pennsylvania HB64, the Employee Protection from Captive Audience Meeting Act, prohibits employers from penalizing employees for not participating in meetings or communications about religious or political matters. Employers cannot discharge, discipline, or threaten employees for declining to attend such meetings or listen to related communications. The act allows employees to sue for violations, seeking remedies like back pay, reinstatement, and attorney fees. Employers must post notices about these rights within 30 days of the act's effective date.
