Tips for employers from Rubin Thomlinson LLP on how to mitigate risk during holiday celebrations.
"...employers will be held to a high standard when alcohol is being
served in the workplace. Especially during the holiday season, employers
should recognize that:
- Providing alcohol (particularly self-service) is risky;
- They must monitor consumption and best practices would dictate limiting consumption;
- Anyone in a responsible position (supervisors and above) should not be consuming alcohol at the party;
- A plan must be developed before the event about how employees and
others will get home safely and such plan should include the provision
of transportation (for example – taxis)."
