A local employer that is a auto dealership. Is making their male employees read a book about football. Then, every week they must talk about what they read in a sort of "book report". Is this legal?? The owner is not taking "NO" for an answer with employers and keeps calling them into his office on why they are not participating.Can an employer force unwork related book club upon employees?
Sounds like a team building exercise.
Of course he can't. BUt in the real world, employment is at will; failing to participate in a team building exerecise is not only a legal reason to fire, it might even be enough to deny unemployment.
Read the damm book. It's not the most unreasonable thing you'll be asked to do by a bossCan an employer force unwork related book club upon employees?
As long as the employer gives the employees time to read the book at work it is 100% legal. If he requires them to do so at home, it is 100% illegal.
If he's a private employer with only a few employees, there aren't many laws protecting the workers however.
If he is forcing them to work "off the clock" by reading the book or preparing the report, then he should be reported to the department of labor in your area.Can an employer force unwork related book club upon employees?
no, he cannot do that. He is not a licenced teacher....duh
