Minimizing a businesses exposure to Discrimination lawsuits

One of the most important things a business owner can do to minimize its exposure to its employees in the employment litigation arena is to draft job descriptions that specifically describe the employees job duties and the employers expectations for any given job. This practice reduces confusion, makes employees more accountable and increases efficiency. It also helps to protect an employer later on should a discrimination lawsuit arise because it will minimize any disputes with respect to the exact job duties a given employee was required to perform.
