OFCCP Proposes Burdensome Changes to its Compliance Review Scheduling Letter

November 29, 2022 | Ford Harrison Filed Under: OFCCP


Executive Summary:
 Just two days before the Thanksgiving holiday, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) issued a proposed scheduling letter and itemized listing seeking a number of additional documents and data at the initial stage of a compliance review. The proposed scheduling letter and itemized listing were published for public comment on November 21. The OFCCP last revised its scheduling letter and itemized listing in April 2020. This most recent proposal, if approved, will exponentially increase the compliance burden on federal contractors and will ensure that every compliance review is a deep dive into contractors’ EEO practices regardless of whether such a detailed level of review is necessary.

Noncompete News Alert: Update to Washington, D.C. Ban on Noncompete Agreements

November 29, 2022 | Ford Harrison Filed Under: General (D.C.)

D.C. Noncompete Ban, Years in the Making: On January 25, 2021, FordHarrison published a Legal Alert indicating that Washington, D.C. would soon implement a ban on noncompete agreements. As noted, the Ban on Non-Compete Agreements Amendment Act of 2020 was considered one of the most far-reaching prohibitions on noncompete agreements in the country. However, feedback from the business community prompted the D.C. Council to revisit the Act, delaying its implementation. Finally, the D.C. Non-Compete Clarification Amendment Act of 2022 (the “Amendment”) went into effect on October 1, 2022. This newly amended version, while less far-reaching, is still a significant ban on the use of noncompete agreements and includes important changes that every D.C. employer should know.

Invasion of Privacy Lawsuits Will Be On The Rise In California Where Employers Use Monitoring/Tracking Technology

November 29, 2022 | CDF Labor Law LLP Filed Under: General (CA)

Employee monitoring and tracking technologies implemented to ensure remote employee productivity for remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic need to be handled carefully. California employers seeking to learn whether employees surfed the internet or posted to social media for non-work purposes have increasingly used a variety of technologies, including keystroke monitors and other productivity software on phones and laptops, GPS trackers on work computers and work vehicles, and website monitoring on computers to monitor employees’ activities. Some employers monitor logins, activity on messaging, and collaborative programs and applications such as Slack, Google Workspace, Microsoft Teams, and Microsoft Office to track employees’ work time.

The Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 (EPCA), passed by Congress, is the federal law that governs the monitoring of electronic communications in the workplace. The Act prohibits employers from intentionally intercepting and monitoring their employees’ work communications. However, there are some exceptions that allow employers to get around the Act. The first is the Business Purpose Exception, which permits employers and companies to intercept their employees’ work communications, when the company can prove that a legitimate business purpose exists. The second exception is when the employer receives consent from their employee allowing the monitoring and intercepting of the employee’s oral, wire, and electronic work communications. Employers often seek written consent during the orientation process as part of the onboarding documents.
