8-4-123. Termination of occupancy pursuant to contract of employment - legislative declar
Status: in_force

8-4-123. Termination of occupancy pursuant to contract of employment - legislative declaration. (1) The general assembly hereby finds, determines, and declares that many businesses, such as nursing homes or building management companies, either desire or are required by law to have staff on premises at all times. As part of the compensation for such employees, many employers offer housing to employees. However, once that employment relationship ceases, it may become undesirable for such employees to occupy the premises for many reasons, including the safety of the employer's patients, clients, customers, or tenants. Under traditional landlord and tenant law, such employees may have established the technical or legal right to occupy the premises for a fixed term that continues far beyond the cessation of the employment relationship. However, in employment situations, such occupancy is not a tenancy, but a license to occupy the premises pursuant to an employment relationship. The occupancy of the premises by the employee is not entered into by the employer for the purpose of providing housing, but merely as a means to provide services to the employer's patients, clients, customers, or tenants. In certain cases, it may be necessary to curtail the occupancy of former employees in order to protect the rights or safety of an employer's tenants or patients.

(2) (a) Pursuant to a written agreement meeting the requirements of paragraph (b) of this subsection (2), a license to occupy the premises entered into as part of an employee's compensation may be terminated at any time after the employment relationship ceases between an employer and employee. A termination of a license to occupy the premises shall be effective three days after the service of written notice of termination of a license to occupy the premises.

(b) An agreement made pursuant to this section shall be in writing and shall include the following:

(I) The names of the employer and employee;

(II) A statement that the license to occupy the premises is provided to the employee as part of the employee's compensation and is subject to termination at any time after the employment relationship ceases;

(III) The address of the premises; and

(IV) The signature of both the employer and the employee.

(c) The notice of termination of a license to occupy the premises shall describe the premises and shall set forth the time when the license to occupy the premises will terminate. The notice shall be signed by the employer or the employer's agent or attorney.

(3) If an employee fails to vacate the premises within three days after the receipt of the notice of termination of the license to occupy the premises, the employer may contact the county sheriff to have the employee removed from the premises. The county sheriff shall remove the employee and any personal property of the employee from the premises upon the showing to the county sheriff of the notice of termination of the license to occupy the premises and agreement pursuant to which the license to occupy the premises was granted.

8-14.4-106. Relief authorized. (1) An aggrieved individual may, within ninety days after exhausting administrative remedies pursuant to section 8-14.4-105, commence an action in district court against a principal for a violation of this article 14.4.

(2) A court may order affirmative relief that the court determines to be appropriate, including the following relief, against a respondent who is found to have engaged in a discriminatory, adverse, or retaliatory employment practice prohibited by this article 14.4:

(a) Reinstatement or rehiring of a worker, with or without back pay;

(b) The greater of either:

(I) Ten thousand dollars; or

(II) Any lost pay resulting from the violation, including back pay for a reinstated or rehired worker and front pay for a worker who is not reinstated or rehired; and

(c) Any other equitable relief the court deems appropriate.

(3) (a) In addition to the relief available pursuant to subsection (2) of this section, in a civil action brought by a plaintiff under this article 14.4 against a defendant who is found to have engaged in an intentional discriminatory, adverse, or retaliatory employment practice, the plaintiff may recover compensatory and punitive damages as specified in this subsection (3).

(b) A plaintiff may recover punitive damages against a defendant if the plaintiff demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant engaged in a discriminatory, adverse, or retaliatory employment practice with malice or reckless indifference to the rights of the plaintiff. However, if the defendant demonstrates good-faith efforts to comply with this article 14.4 and to prevent discriminatory, adverse, and retaliatory employment practices in the workplace, the court shall not award punitive damages against the defendant.

(c) A plaintiff may recover compensatory damages against a defendant for other pecuniary losses, emotional pain and suffering, inconvenience, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, and other nonpecuniary losses.

(d) In determining the appropriate level of damages to award a plaintiff who has been the victim of an intentional discriminatory, adverse, or retaliatory employment practice, the court shall consider the size and assets of the defendant and the egregiousness of the discriminatory, adverse, or retaliatory employment practice.

(e) Compensatory or punitive damages awarded pursuant to this subsection (3) are in addition to, and do not include, front pay, back pay, interest on back pay, or any other type of relief awarded pursuant to subsection (2) of this section.

(4) If a plaintiff in a civil action filed under this article 14.4 seeks compensatory or punitive damages pursuant to subsection (3) of this section, any party to the civil action may demand a trial by jury.

(5) The court shall award reasonable attorney fees to a plaintiff who prevails in an action brought pursuant to this section.

8-3-102. Legislative declaration
Status: repealed

8-3-102. Legislative declaration. (1) The public policy of the state as to employment relations and collective bargaining, in the furtherance of which this article 3 is enacted, is declared to be as follows:

(a) It recognizes that there are three major interests involved, namely: That of the public, the employee, and the employer. These three interests are to a considerable extent interrelated. It is the policy of the state to protect and promote each of these interests with due regard to the situation and to the rights of the others.

(b) Industrial peace, regular and adequate income for the employee, and uninterrupted production of goods and services are promotive of all of these interests. They are largely dependent upon the maintenance of fair, friendly, and mutually satisfactory employment relations and the availability of suitable machinery for the peaceful adjustment of whatever legitimate controversies may arise. It is recognized that certain employers, including farmers and farmer cooperatives, in addition to their general employer problems, face special problems arising from perishable commodities and seasonal production which require adequate consideration. It is also recognized that whatever may be the rights of disputants with respect to each other in any controversy regarding employment relations, they should not be permitted in the conduct of their controversy to intrude directly or indirectly into the primary rights of third parties to earn a livelihood, transact business, and engage in the ordinary affairs of life by any lawful means and free from molestation, interference, intimidation, restraint, or coercion.

(c) Negotiations of terms and conditions of work should result from voluntary agreement between employer and employee. For the purpose of such negotiation, an employee has the right, if he desires, to associate with others in organizing and bargaining collectively through representatives of his own free choosing without intimidation or coercion from any source.

(d) All rights of persons to join labor organizations or unions and their rights and privileges as members of labor organizations or unions should be recognized, safeguarded, and protected. A person shall not be denied membership in a labor organization or union on account of race, creed, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, disability, national origin, or ancestry or by any unfair or unjust discrimination. A labor organization or union shall neither require arbitrary or excessive initiation fees and dues nor impose excessive, unwarranted, arbitrary, or oppressive fines, penalties, or forfeitures. The members are entitled to full and detailed reports from their officers, agents, or representatives of all financial transactions and have the right to elect officers by secret ballot and to determine and vote upon the question of striking, not striking, and other questions of policy affecting the entire membership.

(e) In order to preserve and promote the interests of the public, the employee, and the employer alike, the state shall establish standards of fair conduct in employment relations and provide a convenient, expeditious, and impartial tribunal by which these interests may have their respective rights and obligations adjudicated, without limiting the jurisdiction of the courts to protect property, and to prevent and punish the commission of unlawful acts. While limiting individual and group rights of aggression and defense, the state substitutes processes of justice for the more primitive methods of trial by combat.

(f) It is declared to be the common law of the state that no act which if done by one person would constitute a crime under the common law or statutes of this state is any less a crime if committed by two or more persons or corporations acting in concert, and no act which under the common law or statutes of this state is a wrongful act for which any person has a remedy against the wrongdoer if done by one person is any less a remedial wrong if done by two or more persons or corporations in concert, nor shall the injured person be denied relief in the courts of this state in law or equity except as such relief may be expressly limited by statute.

(g) (I) The general assembly hereby finds and determines that the matters contained in this article have important statewide ramifications for the labor force in this state. The general assembly, therefore, declares that the matters contained in this article are of statewide concern.

(II) to (III) Repealed.
