Antidiscrimination Bonds

BarbieW · September 2007

I've heard about an article about an idea from a University professor. The idea is to require new hires to buy a bond that earns interest during their employment. However, if the employee later sues the employer for discrimination, he or she forfeits the bond and income.

Has anyone heard of this? Anyone try it? I'm wondering if it is actually legal?

i have never heard of this. can you provide a link to the article? it doesn't sound like the best way to begin the employer/employee relationship.

This is absolutely crazy. I can already see the class action lawsuits brewing. Talk about discouraging people from reporting discrimination! This seems COMPLETELY illegal to me...

No and I would not engage in the practice. This is basically blackmail and extortion- can anyone say class action lawsuit?
