Quarterly Employment Litigation Index
It’s time for Manpower’s one-of-a-kind Quarterly Employment Litigation Index.
Each quarter, we reach out to our loyal Blawg visitors to see what they’re experiencing in the world of employment litigation. We asked the 1,987 attendees at our webinar last week the following question:
Are you seeing an increase in employment law claims?
Here are the official results:
- Yes, substantial increase: 6.1%
- Yes, modest increase: 24.7%
- No change: 66.5%
- No, modest decrease: 1.5%
- No, substantial decrease: 1.2%
What the numbers mean . . .
Once again, far more employers are seeing an increase — as opposed to a decrease — in employment law claims. However, the pace of the increase appears to be slowing somewhat.
Last quarter, a whopping 0% reported any sort of decrease. That number is still low this quarter — 2.7% — but it’s still undeniably higher than 0%.
Those reporting an increase (30.8%) dropped by 6.7% compared to last quarter while the biggest group — “no change” — grew 2.7% so that it now represents roughly two-thirds of employers.
As always, thanks for your input and participation. Stay tuned for more on the latest trends in the wonderful world of workplace law.
