Report Link Maryland Changes Position on Unused Vacation Pay Policy.
Jackson Lewis LLP - January 10, 2008
Unused vacation time is a "wage" under Maryland law and must be paid to departing employees regardless of the employer's policy, Maryland's Labor Department has ruled. The agency responsible for administering Maryland's wage and hour laws has quietly reversed its longstanding position on an employee's right to payment of unused vacation at termination. The Employment Standards Service of the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (DLLR) previously maintained that employees had no right to payment for accrued, unused vacation at termination, so long as their employers' policy clearly denied them such a right.
Report Link Maryland Extends Smoking Ban to Restaurants and Bars.
Jackson Lewis LLP - May 25, 2007
Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley, on May 17, 2007, signed the Clean Air Act of 2007, extending the state's smoking ban to bars, restaurants, and private social clubs such as the American Legion. Maryland's smoking ban in office buildings and other indoor workplaces, except for bars and restaurants, has been in effect since 1995. The new law, effective February 1, 2008, also establishes, for the first time, civil penalties for noncompliance. The Maryland Senate passed the bill 31-16, and the House of Delegates approved the bill with a 100-40 vote.
