The employer-employee relationship is subject to numerous state and federal laws that address a diverse range of topics, including hiring and firing, wages and benefits, and prohibited employment actions such as discrimination and retaliation.

Certainty and clarity also allow employers and employees to assess the strengths and weaknesses of their respective cases in employment litigation.

Unfortunately, however, certainty and clarity are not always found in the text of those laws or in court rulings interpreting such laws — as demonstrated by recent cases from Connecticut and the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
