Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I'll be taking a much needed few days off, from both the hectic practice of law and the frantic blogging I've been doing. For everyone's holiday reading pleasure, another batch of worthy clicks:
Age Discrimination–Solutions, from The Word on Employment Law, providing some dead-on practical advice on how to guard against age claims.

Worker Uses Version Of "The Dog Ate My Homework", from Legal Juice, jumping over the pond to Ireland to give us the story of an employee awarded 1,000 euros after being terminated for falsely telling his employer he needed off from work to take his sister to the doctor.
Summary of ADA Restoration Act Senate hearing, from Workplace Horizons, reporting on the Senate hearings on legislation to strip away many pro-business protections from the ADA.
