In my last post, I detailed all the changes that were occurring due to the new Clean Slate law that goes into effect January 1, 2023. You might have missed hearing about the law because it passed in 2021 and the deadline seemed far away.
Well it’s here now.

When I got my first Macintosh computer in college, I was fascinated by little soundbites that you could add and play.
One of my favorites was a clip from the movie “2001” where Hal, the seemingly sentient space computer, says to an astronaut: “I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that” in response to
As the pandemic continues to rage on, the EEOC quietly updated its COVID guidance earlier this month rolling back some (but not all) of the discretion afforded to employers.

I have previously discussed the measure here. There were a few versions floating around and it was House Bill 5386 that
With the final few working days of the General Assembly session, we’re starting to see the outlines on bills that are pretenders vs. contenders.
Yesterday, the House passed a contender on the subject of pay equity in a bi-partisan vote. Unless the Senate decides not to bring up the matter (as it decided last year),
An applicant for a job posting in education lists his most recent relevant experience as occurring in 1973. You don’t bring him in for an interview.
