This session provides a foundational overview of Connecticut’s employment discrimination laws and the obligations enforced by the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities (CHRO). Designed specifically for employers, the seminar will break down the state’s protected classes, outline common risk areas, and explain the documentation necessary to defend against discrimination complaints.

Topics to be Covered Include:
• What constitutes a protected class
• Employment actions that may be considered discriminatory
• When an employee may be entitled to a reasonable accommodation
• Strategies to prevent retaliation
• What employers can expect when involved in a CHRO case
