Report Link Missouri Courts Further Restrict the Application of Covenants Not To Compete.Littler Mendelson, P.C. - July 02, 2009 The Missouri Court of Appeals has held that a covenant not to compete and nonsolicitation agreement, which was reasonable in scope and temporal terms, was, nevertheless, unenforceable because the employer did not establish that an employee, who had substantial customer contacts, could make use of those contacts with customers to his former employer's disadvantage. Report Link Missouri Supreme Court Further Differentiates the Missouri Human Rights Act from Title VII.Littler Mendelson, P.C. - March 06, 2009 Continuing a departure from federal precedent, the Missouri Supreme Court held in Cynthia Hill v. Ford Motor Co., No. SC88981 (Feb. 24, 2009) (en banc),1 that harassment claims under the Missouri Human Rights Act (MHRA) are not to be analyzed under the federal McDonnell Douglas burden-shifting framework, but simply under the language of the MHRA. As a result, a Missouri plaintiff faces less of a burden when proving harassment cases under the MHRA. The Missouri Supreme Court also made clear that any person acting directly in the interest of the employer, including a supervisor, is considered an "employer" under the MHRA and may be individually liable under the MHRA, despite the fact that the individual was not named in the underlying charge of discrimination or in right-to-sue letters from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Missouri Commission on Human Rights (MCHR). Report Link Court Rejects Labor Groups' Challenge To Missouri Workers' Comp Amendments.Constangy, Brooks & Smith, LLP - March 03, 2009 In a long-awaited decision, the Missouri Supreme Court rejected this week claims asserted by labor and non-profit organizations that “business-friendly” amendments to the Missouri workers’ compensation statute were unconstitutional. Report Link Do Missouri and Kansas Employees Have the Right to Vote During Work Hours?Ogletree Deakins - October 31, 2008 With elections around the corner, Ogletree Deakins Shareholder Jill Morris reminds companies that “election season is always a good time to revisit company policies about voting rights and to make sure your company’s human resources personnel are familiar with employees’ right to vote.” Report Link FAQs on Missouri's New Immigration Law.Constangy, Brooks & Smith, LLP - July 31, 2008 The law prohibits employers from knowingly employing, hiring, or continuing to employ unauthorized workers. The law’s definition of employer is broad, so that it includes virtually all private sector employers. Report Link Missouri is Latest State to Enact E-Verify Requirement.Littler Mendelson, P.C. - July 18, 2008 On July 7, 2008, Missouri Governor Matt Blunt signed legislation requiring state contractors to enroll in E-Verify. With this measure, Missouri joins a growing number of states seeking to regulate employment of illegal workers. The Missouri legislation is quite similar to analogous measures enacted in Colorado, Georgia, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, and Utah. Contractors in Arizona, Mississippi, and South Carolina are subject to legislation that already requires all private employers to enroll in E-Verify. Report Link Missouri Enacts Tough New Immigration Law, Targets Employers.Fisher & Phillips, LLP - July 14, 2008 Missouri Governor Matt Blunt has signed into law H.R. 1549, a stringent new bill targeting illegal immigration. As of January 1, 2009, employers of unauthorized workers will face potential loss of state contracts and/or tax breaks, suspension or even revocation of their right to do business in the state, and possibly a civil trial in Missouri state court. Report Link New Missouri Law Requires Select Employers to Use E-Verify.Ogletree Deakins - July 10, 2008 Yesterday, Governor Matt Blunt signed legislation (HB 1549) aimed at curbing illegal immigration in Missouri. Under the new law, employers that knowingly hire or continue to employ unauthorized aliens to perform work in Missouri could face civil liability in state courts and lose their business licenses. (Note: This provision of the new law goes into effect on January 1, 2009). Although this conduct has long been prohibited under federal law, the new state law will allow investigation and enforcement by the Missouri Attorney General and the filing of a civil lawsuit in Missouri state court. The law also requires the following entities to participate in a federal work authorization program (currently known as “E-Verify”). Report Link New Interpretation of Missouri's Minimum Wage Poses Potential Liability for Employers.Ogletree Deakins - March 21, 2007 Missouri's minimum wage was increased from $5.15 to $6.50 per hour, but left unclear its effect on Missouri employers relying on "tip credits" to satisfy minimum wage obligations.
