Workplace holiday parties can be valuable opportunities for team building and morale — but they also present unique and often underestimated legal and ethical risks for employers. While many assume that off-site or after-hours events fall outside the scope of workplace liability, employees, vendors, and even third-party guests can create exposure under Title VII, state anti-discrimination statutes, gender-violence laws, and common-law tort theories. Plaintiff’s employment attorney and former EEOC trial lawyer Laura Feldman examines the legal framework governing misconduct at work-sponsored social events and provides actionable strategies for reducing risk before, during, and after your office celebration. The program also addresses inclusive holiday practices, gift-giving rules, wage/hour considerations, and how to conduct post-event investigations.
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify key federal and state laws governing employer liability for misconduct at off-site or after-hours work events.
2. Recognize common misconceptions related to alcohol service, venue selection, third-party liability, and “off-the-clock” conduct.
3. Implement pre-event strategies, including policy circulation, manager expectations, complaint-reporting systems, and guest-related considerations.
4. Apply practical, real-world risk-mitigation measures during an event, including alcohol management and activity planning.
5. Conduct appropriate post-event responses, including investigations, discipline, and managing after-party risk.
6. Incorporate ethical considerations surrounding inclusive celebrations, gift-giving policies, insurance limitations, and wage/hour nuances.
7. Evaluate whether holiday party attendance should be mandatory or optional from both legal and practical perspectives.
