Abstract: Most employees don’t ask to be demoted. But when an employer’s policy is to demote problematic workers rather than terminate them, submitting a demotion request makes a little more sense. This article discusses a case in which a worker was terminated rather than demoted. Noting that several employees of different races were allowed to take demotions, she sued, alleging reverse discrimination. This article explains why the Seventh Circuit ruled against her, while a sidebar looks at a different case with different results. Citation: Good v. University of Chicago Medical Center, No. 11-2679, March 12, 2012 (7th Cir.); Hague v. Thompson Distribution Co., No. 05-1654, Feb. 7, 2006 (7th Cir.)

Abstract: Health care reform will significantly expand patient access, yet major problems remain with the U.S. health care system. Overall costs are unsustainable, and several health-outcome measures lag behind other industrialized countries. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) includes provisions to address these issues through aggressive promotion of accountable care organizations (ACOs). This article explains what an ACO does, and discusses three PPACA programs that directly affect ACOs. It also suggests how to form an ACO and offers special tips for hospitals. A sidebar looks at legal impediments to forming an ACO.

Abstract: A buy-sell agreement can be an important tool in smoothing any business ownership transition — whether the aim is to maintain control, provide liquidity and a ready market for the stock, retain key employees, or ensure an orderly ownership transfer in the case of death, disability or divorce. And at the heart of every successful buy-sell agreement is a well-reasoned, supportable value. This article explains the various approaches a valuator might use to set the price in a buy-sell agreement and ensure the resulting valuation is objective and fair to all shareholders.
