Yesterday I talked about a new law that will impact the hiring process. But there’s another new law that employers need to comply with starting October 1, 2021. This one, though, is simpler than some of the others. If you want to look at the law itself, it’s Public Act 21-69.
The law amends existing
One of the stories to come out of the Capitol Attack earlier this month was the strong presence of QAnon supporters.
QAnon is a wide-ranging — and wholly untrue — conspiracy theory (online cult?) that posits that President Trump has been waging a secret war against elite Satinists and pedophiles in government and elsewhere. It
Why do Human Resources Professionals and Employment Law Attorneys need to worry about antitrust law?
I’ll confess it’s not a question that many of us thought we would need to answer. I didn’t take the class on antitrust law in law school.

It was over three hours long and by the time we were done, I remember turning to my friend and saying, “Now THAT was a concert.”

Last night, I had the opportunity (again) to sit on a panel discussion sponsored by the Accelerator for Biosciences in Connecticut (ABCT) to talk about operational challenges for new companies and the issues associated with hiring.
ABCT is one of those success stories in Connecticut that should get more press than it does. It’s
Last Friday, I had the opportunity to talk about Artificial Intelligence in the Workplace at the CBIA’s HR Conference. There was a lot to cover in our discussion and a lot of takeaways too.
For those in Human Resources or in-house lawyers reviewing a company’s potential use of AI in the workplace, here are three
In just a few weeks, I’ll be speaking at the CBIA’s Employment Law Conference on the topic of “Artificial Intelligence & Analytics for HR: Recruiting, Retention & Engagement”.
As I was speaking to the moderator about potential subjects of our discussion, we were arguing over whether AI is something for the future or something
A while back, I had a good discussion with a colleague on a topic with no real firm answers.
No, it wasn’t on whether the Yankees are better franchise than the Red Sox. The answer to that is unequivocally yes. (Sorry, Sox fans.)
