EntertainHR: Don’t Be Punk’d Without a Workplace Violence Policy

September 20, 2023 Filed Under: Workplace Violence

I have a confession to make.

To the embarrassment of my family, especially my wife, I continue to watch professional wrestling. I’m a sucker when an entire arena is directing “heat” (negative reactions like booing) at a “heel” (the “bad guy”). And when the “babyface” (the “good guy”) is about to

Noncompete News: The More Things Change, the More They Remain the Same: Georgia Supreme Court Addresses Choice of Law Provisions in Noncompete Context

September 18, 2023 Filed Under: Restrictive Covenants (GA)

Historically, Georgia courts have declined to apply another state’s law to determine whether to enforce restrictive covenants against a Georgia employee, regardless of whether the agreement stated that another state’s law controlled (choice-of-law provision). So, too, Georgia’s law has long distinguished between restrictive covenants that are reasonable (in scope, duration, and geographic reach) and those that are unreasonable; the former are enforceable, while the latter are considered “in general restraint of trade.” Contracts that are “in general restraint of trade” are “deemed to be contrary to public policy” and “cannot be enforced” in Georgia. O.C.G.A. 13-8-2(a).

DOL’s New Proposed Overtime Rule Would Drastically Increase the Salary Threshold for the White Collar Overtime Exemption

September 5, 2023 Filed Under: Overtime Exemptions

Executive Summary: Under a new proposed rule from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), released on August 30, 2023, more than 3.4 million workers would be newly eligible for overtime pay unless employers pay a much higher salary threshold. Currently, workers who are paid a salary of at least $35,568 annually and work in a “bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity”—often called “white collar” or “EAP” exceptions—are not covered by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requirements for employees to receive overtime at a rate of one-and-one-half their regular rate of pay for time worked beyond 40 hours in a week. 

OFCCP Announces New Scheduling Letter for Federal Contractors

September 5, 2023 Filed Under: OFCCP

HEADS, I WIN – TAILS, YOU LOSE: The NLRB’s Decision in Cemex and Its Recently (Re)issued Election Rules Pave the Way for Unions to Organize Workplaces Quickly With or Without an Election

August 30, 2023 Filed Under: Union Organizing

Executive Summary: For nearly 90 years, whether employees desired union representation was determined through a secret ballot election administered by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB or Board). Though the National Labor Relations Act (Act) permits the use of other means to establish a union’s majority support, the Board and courts have long recognized the “method that best protects employees’ freedom of choice and best ensures majority rule is a Board-conducted, secret ballot election.” After legislative efforts to replace secret ballot elections with “card check” recognition failed (see, e.g., the Employee Free Choice Act and the Protecting the Right to Organize Act), the unelected NLRB has effectively done so on its own.

Fifth Circuit Overrules Long-Standing Precedent to Align Itself with Other Courts Addressing Title VII Claims

August 29, 2023 Filed Under: Employer Liability (Title VII)

OFCCP Issues Final Rule Dialing Back Transparency Promised in 2020 Predetermination Notice Regulation

August 24, 2023 Filed Under: OFCCP

Executive Summary: On August 4, 2023, the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) published a final rule amending the 2020 pre-enforcement regulations colloquially referred to as the “PDN Rule.” A PDN or a Predetermination Notice is a letter that OFCCP issues to notify contractors, currently undergoing a compliance review, that the agency has identified preliminary indicators of potential discrimination. The PDN provides contractors with an early opportunity to respond prior to OFCCP issuing a Notice of Violation (NOV). The 2020 PDN Rule was hailed by OFCCP as a sign of its commitment to transparency and early, efficient resolution of open audits. While the final rule does not eliminate the requirement that OFCCP issue a PDN, the level of transparency promised and the evidentiary standard for issuing the PDN have been significantly reduced.
