Position Yourself: A slipshod position statement in response to an EEOC claim can result in years of litigation

Before an employee can sue an organization for violating anti-discrimination laws, he or she must file a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or a similar state agency.In its position statement, representatives for the organization stated that they first learned that the employee was submitting false leave requests on July 11,2002, when a shift supervisor saw her car parked outside the location of her part-time job within hours after she had taken sick leave at Shenandoah Valley.[...]the court denied Shenandoah Valley's request for summary judgment, permitting the claim to proceed to trial.
