Three Weeks Until NLRB Posting Rule Takes Effect

By Daniel Schwartz on Posted in Highlight, Human Resources (HR) Compliance, Labor Law & NRLB, Laws and Regulations

Update: The NLRB has announced an indefinite postponement of the rules. See this updated post here.  Another month has passed, and we are now ever closer to the effective date of the NLRB’s new posting rules.  Thus far, many of the legal challenges to the proposed rule have been ineffective, as the Employer Law Report… Continue Reading

Waiting for the Dust To Settle on New NLRB Posting Requirement

By Daniel Schwartz on Posted in Labor Law & NRLB

A lot of people have been writing about a recent court ruling that upheld significant portions of a new NLRB-promulgated poster that will get put up on a wall in some common area. I’ve been reluctant to write about it because, as I mentioned back in the fall, things continue to change on this particular… Continue Reading

NLRB Postpones Mandatory Posters for Employers Until January 2012

By Daniel Schwartz on Posted in Labor Law & NRLB

The National Labor Relations Board today announced that it has postponed the start date for its new notice-posting rule until January 31, 2012. (I previously covered the new rule in a prior post here.) In a press release, it indicated that it did so to allow for “enhanced education and outreach to employers, particularly those… Continue Reading

Get Your New NLRB Posting From…The NLRB

By Daniel Schwartz on Posted in Human Resources (HR) Compliance, Labor Law & NRLB, Laws and Regulations

Earlier this month, I told you that effective November 14th, the NLRB is requiring yet another posting for your workplace. The posting will, in some ways, look familiar to employers that have had unions; similar postings may go up around elections or other union-related issues. But this new poster is different in some ways because… Continue Reading

NLRB Shifts Workplace Landscape, As Expected; New Posters Required Soon

By Daniel Schwartz on Posted in Labor Law & NRLB, Laws and Regulations

As I mentioned last week (when in Connecticut, we were focused on Irene), the NLRB has been busy in August issuing new rules and new rulings. Some people are expressing surprise at the shift seen in these rules and disgust that prior NLRB rules are effectively being overturned.  But none of this should be surprising… Continue Reading

By Daniel Schwartz on Posted in Human Resources (HR) Compliance, Legislative Developments, Wage & Hour

Employers, it’s time to tune up on your Spanish. Buried in the new bill on Paid Sick Leave is a section that suggests to employers in Connecticut that a posting should be written in both English and Spanish. First the context: Senate Bill 913 says that at the time of hiring, each employers should notify… Continue Reading

Lost in a Maze of Regulations? One Correct Path to Follow — Harassment Training

By Daniel Schwartz on Posted in Human Resources (HR) Compliance

One of the great local treats in Connecticut this time of year is a corn maze. My favorite for the last few years is the one created by Lyman Orchards in Middlefield, CT.  (And while you’re there, don’t miss picking a few apples or getting a fresh apple pie). Mazes aren’t anything new. Employment lawyers and… Continue Reading

NLRB: Employers May Limit Use of Employees’ Use of E-mail For “Non Job-Related Solicitations”

By Daniel Schwartz on Posted in Human Resources (HR) Compliance, Labor Law & NRLB

On Friday afternoon — conveniently right before a long holiday weekend — the NLRB dropped a significant decision on an important issue — whether an employer may set up a policy that, in turn, prohibits employees from using the employer’s e-mail system for any "non-job-related solicitations."  The NLRB answered "yes" in the case of The Guard Publishing… Continue Reading

Sexual Harassment Prevention Checkup – The Basics of Training and Posting

By Daniel Schwartz on Posted in CHRO & EEOC, Discrimination & Harassment

The headlines of the week nationally have certainly surrounded sexual harassment allegations both old and new.  (Note: Due to my firm’s involvement in one of those cases, I will not be blogging on it).  But with the issue back in the forefront, I’ve been surprised lately in my discussions by how some small to mid-size… Continue Reading
