Cross-Border Catch-Up: Preparing for Key Workplace Changes in Japan
In this episode of our Cross-Border Catch-Up podcast series, Shirin Aboujawde (New York) and Eric Lee (New York) discuss significant amendments to Japan’s discretionary labor system. The amendments require employers to specify, in their employment agreements, whether there will be changes to the location and scope of employment and to state renewal limits for fixed-term contracts. Eric and Shirin, both of whom are members of the firm’s Cross-Border Practice Group, also address the steep legal standard for termination of employment in Japan and the narrow exemption from overtime. They wrap up with a discussion of new health and safety requirements related to rest periods, late-night work, and limits on working hours.

Workplace Strategies Watercooler 2024: Religious Discrimination—A New Day for Claims?
In this podcast recorded at Ogletree Deakins’ national Workplace Strategies seminar, Michael Eckard (office managing shareholder, Charleston) is joined by Bonnie Martin (office managing shareholder, Indianapolis) and Andy Tanick (shareholder, Minneapolis) to discuss recent legal developments in the area of religious accommodations under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act since the Supreme Court’s ruling in Groff v. DeJoy. The speakers discuss how the murky Groff ruling has left unanswered questions about what constitutes an “undue hardship” for religious accommodation requests. They also discuss the open questions regarding what qualifies as “sincerely held” and “religious beliefs,” as new contexts for these claims arise—including complaints about the use of preferred pronouns, DEI initiatives, and more.
