¶ … decision -- federal or state court -- where an employer was found NOT GUILTY of violating one of our chief laws (EEO, ADA, EPA, ADEA, etc. - -).

After being involved in an altercation with a male trainee, she was allowed to go home for the day. Tatom refused to return to GJCC until the trainee was removed. She filled out a report but GJCC stated that her report on the incident did not indicate if the offense was a Level I or (lesser) Level II infraction and the employee was not removed (EmployerLinc, 2015).

Looking at the claims of John Doe and the possible defenses by ABC Science as an attorney, I would recommend that the company reach some type of settlement with Mr. Doe allowing him to retain a position within the company.
