Hold Harmless Form Florida: Fill & Download for Free

He won't be able to control anything. His uncontrolled (in terms of using masks, social distances, and avoiding crowds) rallies will inevitably lead to a spike in cases and deaths in those areas where the rallies are held. His “hold harmless" releases that purportedly need to be signed by every attendee won't protect him from responsibility for creating the environment where there is a health hazard. Collecting on that will, however, be a problem.

Trump? Protections? RNC? Are you freaking daft? There ain’t no protections coming from Trump, Republicans or anyone associated with this administration. His whole agenda is to create a personal feel good moment while endangering the lives of others and increasing the spread of the coronavirus. His registrations include hold harmless clauses so he can’t be sued no matter how many cases erupt after his Tulsa March. You can be sure the same will apply to the RNC Convention in Florida.

The employer and the job candidate are in an asymmetrical relationship and this is one of the asymmetries.The company can’t sue a job candidate for not being the best applicant. But, any applicant can sue any employer for their decision not to hire her or him. So, the risk of a de-briefing on a non-offer is all on the employer’s side of the table.The only way a company can be required to disclose why you weren’t hired is in response to a subpoena associated with an employment-law complaint.This is my conclusion from about 30 years as head of HR at three knowledge-worker companies in Silicon Valley and Florida. An employment attorney might know some other provision.If a company didn’t hire a given applicant, it’s pretty much all downside for any representative of the company to get into opinion sharing this way. After all, a hiring decision is a composite opinion of the interviewers and decision-makers at the employer.The reasons for this have to do with the protected-class system in federal and state law in the U.S., and with the cost of time for a professional to engage in a dialog that may or may not get a welcome reception from the job applicant and may or may not contribute to an applicant’s feeling that something unfair happened in the interview process.When I was active as a human resources vice president, I occasionally checked with an employment lawyer about whether a job candidate might sign a hold-harmless agreement in exchange for a discussion about her/his candidacy. It would be an administrative nightmare and the agreement couldn’t be assured to remain intact.With a declined applicant, the employer will always be dealing with someone who didn’t get what they wanted, has their own sense of what’s fair and right, doesn’t know the field of other applicants, and doesn’t know the particulars of the job at this particular company. It would be a costly, impractical option for the company to try. I’ve never heard of an employer who does anything similar and I’ve never spoken to an employment attorney who thinks it’s worth considering.
