New York Employment Law Roundup
Fridays are a great time to catch up on the week’s happenings. Although my specialty is in New York employment law, I enjoy reading about a range of issues that affect employment, in the US and abroad. Here’s a look at some articles I am reading this week:
• The Human Resources Exclusive Online: A look back on employment law issues from the year. This is a great recap of everything from unemployment issues and the Obama administration to the need for greater transparency in retirement-plan investment decisions.
• The Chicago Tribune: Clarification is always helpful when it comes from the top. This article clarifies the Illinois Supreme Court’s opinion on non-compete agreements. With the increase in job turnover, this was a much needed discussion and the principles may apply in other states as well.
• The Politico: The National Labor Relations Board delays key union rules. The delay effectively postpones the date employers must post information displaying employee rights. The new deadline is set for April 30, 2012.
• SFGate: Employment issues don’t just touch adults. In this article by the SFGate looks at how Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich is leading a push to ease child labor laws.
• MarketWatch: Not just limited to New York or the United States, sometimes it is fun to read about what is happening across the pond. In this article, MarketWatch talks about the changes the new year will bring to UK employment law.
Have a great weekend everyone and look for blogs on some of these topics in the near future. Got some great articles to add? I would love to hear from you!
