498 Words2 Pages

The regulation states, an employee must be restored to a position that is geographically proximate to their previous position. Furthermore, it is an interference of an employee’s right, to which he or she is entitled under FMLA, by failing to restore him or her to an equivalent position upon return to work. 29 C.F.R. § 825.215. In the case of McFadden v. Seagoville State Bank, the employee’s previous job before taking FMLA leave required a seven mile commute one way, which takes ten minutes to drive. The Buckner branch, her new job location, was twenty-five miles from the employee’s hometown, a commute of thirty minutes each way. The plaintiff “would have been required to drive approximately 18 additional miles to her position in the Buckner branch, which would require an additional 20 minutes of driving time each way.” McFadden v. Seagoville State Bank, Civ. A. 3:08 2009 WL 37596 *2 (N.D. Tex. January 6, 2009). The Bank argued that an additional 18 mile drive to work doesn’t significantly alter her position. Id. at 8. However, the Court held that it was a genuine issue of material fact. Id. Tripling her commute was a question for the jury. Therefore summary judgment for the defendant was denied. Id. at 10. …show more content…

Id. at

If an extensive set of questions is required, then the treatment of employees (Specialists in this case) varied too much to form a true class action lawsuit. The Appellate court also stated that the case seemed to focus less on how to classify tasks, and company policies and instead more on the different tasks that each specialist performed; which did not pertain to a class action lawsuit. Mies then faulted the court on not considering that in order for a Specialist to be exempt they must regularly exercise discretion and independent judgment. She then again faulted the court for not considering whether every specialist could not, and did not perform this independent work because of policies put in place by Sephora that govern all aspects of the store. The trial court explained that the resolution of this issue would have to focus less on Sephora’s policies and more on the individual Specialists declarations.

Another central issue in the Vinson case was the question of employer liability for the action of supervisors. Specifically, the issue has focused on the conditions under which an employer can be held liable for the harassing conduct of its individual supervisors (Meritor Savings Bank v. Vinson, 1986). At one extreme, the argument held that an employer is always liable for the actions of supervisors because the supervisor is acting as the agent of the employer. At the other extreme, the argument held that, unless the act of sexually harassing employees was part of the supervisor’s job, the employer should be liable only if the employer was negligent. Negligence in this context has come to be defined as “the employer knew or should have known
