'It is probably best practise to remain uninvolved, just turn a blind eye,' says legal expert
The gig economy has been growing over the years, but with the pandemic, and rising living costs, more and more people have turned to alternative ways to make ends meet.
One of the most controversial options has been the rise of OnlyFans, a platform where creators can sell exclusive content to subscribers, which is often adult in nature.
However, many employers have taken issue with their employees engaging in sex work on the side and have terminated them for it.
But is this the correct response? Not according to a top New York employment lawyer. Vincent P. White, Esquire – Partner of White and Hilferty law firm, creates YouTube videos online offering advice and insight into legal matters. In a video about a case between T-Mobile and an employee who — upon being physically threatened by a co-worker and making a complaint to HR to find herself on the receiving end of invasive questions regarding her online presence on Only Fans — took the company to court for what became a gender discrimination case.
Although unsuccessful in court, the employee turned down a settlement and chose to take her case to the court of public opinion and garnered a lot of support.
