With the election over, employers in Connecticut now have to sort out what type of changes can be expected in a new Trump administration.
Much remains unclear. While there has been much talk about Project 2025, a book published by the Heritage Foundation, as fueling policy proposals, it’s entirely unclear how much will be
Connecticut’s updated Paid Sick Leave becomes effective January 1, 2025 and now is the time for most employers to update their policies and procedures. I’ve previously written about it here so I thought for this article, I’d focus on the key aspects of what employers need to know right now.
Here are the key points:
As I discussed in prior posts (here), the Senate on Monday approved a bill that will greatly expand the paid sick day law to large and small employers alike. Since it was previously approved by the House, it now goes to the Governor for his signature; he has previously indicated his willingness to
The end of the General Assembly session is quickly coming upon us. So it’s a good time to look at what bills are still floating around in this year’s term and what’s dead (or mostly dead) for the year.

As I continue the updates on legislation that is making its way at the General Assembly, it’s time to revisit a bill that has been floated in prior years — a bill banning many non-compete agreements.
House Bill 5269 is this year’s version and it still has a number of restrictions that employers should
It’s March and things are heating up at the General Assembly so let’s get right at the bills that employers should be aware of.
Senate Bill 4 — which is deemed to be a Senate caucus priority bill, and thus something employers should pay attention to — redefines discrimination in a way that has never
As I took a bit of a breather with some blog posts, I’m pleased to announce another new episode of the From Lawyer to Employer podcast that I’ve been hosting these last several months.
On the latest episode, I invite Nina Pirrotti, an employee-side attorney who has appeared on this blog many times before, to
Led, in part, by a crusade from former Fox News hosts Gretchen Carlson and Julie Roginsky, who settled private cases with Fox News involving sexual harassment and signed non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), we’re likely to see a bill at the General Assembly this year to ban employers’ use of NDAs and non-disparagement agreements in discrimination complaints.
Over the years, I’ve referred to a Magic 8 ball, tea leaves, a crystal ball and more to make predictions in what will happen in the upcoming year. In 2023, I noted that various bills would come up for consideration in the state legislature but that it was unclear whether any could muster enough support
