Michigan Law Firm - Warner Norcross + Judd LLP

In this week’s “Warner Employment News From the Law Shanty,” Warner attorney Steve Palazzolo takes a break from COVID-19 news. Instead, he shifts his focus to&nbsp;addressing what employers should do when employees post or share inappropriate, inflammatory or socially insensitive things on social media. Restrictions may apply to government employers and&nbsp;exemptions exist to the general at-will rule for private employers. All of these things, plus the First Amendment, play a significant role in what employers can and cannot do when disciplining or terminating employees for their social media actions.
