This will enable private suits on the issue. Another gold mine for lawyers who do employment litigation. Such a shame.
“Good luck proving that. No employer would be dumb enough to admit as much.”
Juries will be allowed to infer that. And, company emails will be killers in this regard. Because companies are doing exactly that for exactly that reason, as Obama expected them to. And there will be emails in most companies discussing exactly that. The penalties are a big part of the financing of Obamacare.
It will be easy to prove in California. They go after age, sex and race discrimination all the time without any proof of intent.
Walmart may not admit doing that, but large numbers of their employees have their hours cut back to the point they no longer qualify for the company’s somewhat limited health benefits.
The burden of proof is going to be up to the employer........and a nightmare for their HR and legal departments.
A disgruntled employee doesn't have to prove anything, all they need to do is file the complaint with the appropriate agency and let them do the rest.....
Talk about having the bit in their teeth! These lib gubments are totally out of control!
