Getting an employment decision to the Supreme Court can take a long time. It can easily take years for a case to wind its way through the lower trial and appellate courts. However, there are several important employment issues that we could see decided by the Supreme Court over the next few years.
In preparation of the new term starting Oct. 5, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) details a few cases employers and HR professionals need to know about the upcoming term:
Van Buren v. United States – a case that will determine the limits employers can set when it comes to authorized access to work computers.
California v. Texas and Texas v. United States – two consolidated cases to decide whether reducing the penalty to zero rendered the minimum-coverage provision unconstitutional—and, if so, whether the rest of the ACA can remain enforceable without it.
Henry Schein Inc. v. Archer and White Sales Inc. – to give employers clear guidance on to properly draft employment arbitration agreements and how clear the agreement has to be about whether the arbitrator can decide whether issues should be brought in arbitration or court.
