Another thing raised by this week’s cartoon is the issue of language in the workplace–specifically whether an employer can have an English-only rule for a workplace. Until the U. S. Supreme Court decides this issue, we won’t know the answer. There is, however, no shortage of opinions on this issue.

Not surprisingly, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has stated its position on the subject. Read what the EEOC says, but basically, it’s possible to have such a rule–under limited circumstances. Even then, the EEOC doesn’t like such a rule.

Next, consider some very practical advice from the Nevada Employment Law Letter.
