Lawyers love their cocktail chatter. And at a recent bar event, an interesting hypothetical came up among lawyers:
Suppose an employee is trying to get pregnant and is thinking about infertility treatments. She’s considering time off for rest, and perhaps even for some in vitro fertilization (IVF) appointments. Perhaps even the doctor has said that
One of the benefits of writing a blog as long as I have is that you get to track the progress of a law or legal development over a number of years.
It was back in 2012, for example, that I first provided a comprehensive summary of a new medical marijuana bill that was
Trying to follow both state and federal wage and hour laws isn’t that hard.
But it isn’t that easy either.
Let’s say you’re a restaurant with a waitstaff. Like most restaurants nowadays, your customers pay by credit card and you, the employer, have to pay the credit card company a percentage on each sale.

Like a lot of people, I’ve got the summer bug and, given the choice between a walk outside and a blog post — well, you can figure out what has been winning.

Earlier this week, I made my long-awaited (ok, long-awaited by ME) return on WNPR’s ever-popular “Where We Live” show.
As always, I’m thankful for the invite.
My appearances date back quite some time (remember pizza and child labor in 2010?), so it was nice to be back in the studio to talk about age discrimination
With Memorial Day coming up this weekend, it’s often a time (or it ought to be a time) to reflect on the sacrifices made by our military. And at the same time, consider how we, as a society, treat our veterans.
This issue was highlighted for me many years ago. During a court proceeding
This post is for the employment law nerds out there.
You know who you are.
You pore over the statistics that show a correlation between the unemployment rate and EEOC filings. (I see you Lawffice Space.)
You rate who the “Worst Employer” is of 2017. (Can’t wait for the announcement next week, Ohio
In yesterday’s post, I talked about the basics of what is and is not “sexual harassment”.
Continuing the theme of going back to the basics, employers in the Constitution State have certain posting and training requirements that must be followed.
These requirements are found in the administrative regulations set up by the CHRO regarding sexual
