摘要：Human Resource decision makers and other members of management involved
in human resource decision making, have in recent years increasingly been held
“personally liable” under federal and state employment laws (Deschenaux, 2007).
While federal courts have not imposed personal liability on decision makers for violation
of most nondiscrimination laws, that is not the case with a number of state
nondiscrimination laws. The purpose of this paper is to examine the potential for
personal liability for managers involved in human resource decision making, recent
court cases, and what human resource decision makers can do to reduce their
exposure to personal liability.
