The Act has affected every employer that sponsors a group health plan for employees and has terminated or laid off an employee on or after September 1, 2008. Employers have had to act quickly to implement new notice requirements, including notification to former employees and adjustment of payroll tax administration to administer the temporary federal subsidy of COBRA premiums. Report Link New Virginia Statute Grants Leave to Employee Victims of Crimes.Jackson Lewis LLP - July 17, 2007 A new Virginia statute aiding employees who have been victims of a crime requires their employers to grant them leave from work to be present at any criminal proceedings in certain cases. The law, which took effect July 1, 2007, however, may have a much greater impact than most employers anticipate. The expansive definitions used under the statute augur broad coverage and a likely impact on employee staffing. Report Link Virginia Enacts New Law Allowing Crime Victims Time Off From Work.Jackson Lewis LLP - May 25, 2007 Virginia enacted a new law on March 15, 2007, that requires employers to allow an employee who was the victim of a crime to leave work to be present at any criminal proceedings relating to the crime.

Report Link How Not to Hire Employees From a Competitor.Littler Mendelson, P.C. - April 06, 2005 A major retailer recently learned the hard way how not to hire a strong-performing employee from a competitor. In a recent decision from a Virginia Circuit Court, James, Ltd. v. Saks Fifth Avenue, Inc., et al., Saks was hit with a $1.6 million judgment for its actions when it hired a sales employee directly from a competitor, disregarding the employee's non-compete obligation. Report Link Inadvertent Legislative Action Stirs Up Virginia's Day of Rest Law. Jackson Lewis LLP - July 14, 2004 In April 2004, the Virginia General Assembly unintentionally amended Virginia's Day of Rest Law to remove the exemptions for certain employers. On July 13 the General Assembly fixed its mistake and restored the exemptions, but not before CNN and other media outlets gave it significant attention.
