Here are two scenarios. Now, the employer may not even know about this conduct. We don't know the answer to that yet, but some courts are saying that the employer has that duty. Conversely, you have employed a spouse. She has to leave work in a hurry after getting a phone call from her husband.
Some courts seem to say yes.
There is no one, individual solution to the problem. Each and every one of these cases is going to have to be identified by the employer and individually treated for how they are going to address it. What they are going to have to do is that either they will have to learn how to deal with those problems on a case by case basis, or they are going to have to get a hold of somebody that they can rely upon to come up with creative solutions to each and every one of these individual problems. I mean that's what it really boils down to. I think this issue is a very big danger for employers.
