    #WorkforceWednesday: Staples Sued Over MA’s Lie Detector Notice, NJ’s Gender-Neutral Dress Code, 2024 Voting Leave Policies

    This week, we’re highlighting a few state-level employment issues, including the legal challenges faced by Staples, Inc., regarding the Massachusetts lie detector ban; New Jersey’s implementation of a gender-neutral dress code for businesses; and the varying voting leave policies across states in preparation for the November election. Staples Sued Over Massachusetts’s Lie Detector Notice In Massachusetts, the Staples office supply chain has been sued for allegedly violating the state’s lie detector ban, which, among other things, requires employers to include information about the ban on job applications. New Jersey’s Gender-Neutral Dress Code  Businesses in New Jersey are now required to adopt a gender-neutral dress code for both patrons and employees. The state attorney general announced this new mandate after a restaurant was found to have violated New Jersey’s Law Against Discrimination when it required a nonbinary customer to follow the men’s dress code. Employers Must Prepare Voting Leave Policies Ahead of 2024 Election With the U.S. presidential election little more than 50 days away, employees are beginning to make voting plans. Now is the time for employers to check relevant laws in their state and review their policies.

    #WorkforceWednesday: State Legal Trends: Crucial Changes for Employers

    This week, we’re looking at recent state-level changes and legal trends that have varying degrees of impact on employers. Massachusetts Pay Equity Law Massachusetts is the most recent state to enact a pay equity law. The law establishes new pay range disclosure requirements for employers that employ 25 or more employees in Massachusetts. Illinois Amends BIPA Illinois’ new law limits penalties under the Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) and clarifies consent procedures. Employers can now be held liable only for a single violation per person rather than for each alleged use of biometric data. Michigan Supreme Court Reinstates Wage and Leave Laws In Michigan, employers will have to reckon with a new decision from the state’s Supreme Court that reinstated two laws that were created through a public initiative. One law provides for annual increases to the minimum wage and a gradual elimination of a wage differential for tipped workers, while the other expands paid sick leave obligations.  Federal Courts Strike Down Controversial Florida Laws In Florida, a federal district court judge permanently blocked the state’s Stop WOKE Act, which restricted workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion training. And a different federal judge in Florida overturned the state’s ban on transgender health care.

    Spilling Secrets: What Is the Future of Non-Compete Agreements for Employers?

    On July 23, 2024, a federal judge in Pennsylvania denied a motion to enjoin the FTC’s non-compete ban. This ruling is in direct opposition to one by a district court in Texas that enjoined the ban in early July. In this episode of Spilling Secrets, Epstein Becker Green attorneys Peter A. Steinmeyer, A. Millie Warner, and Paul DeCamp look into their crystal ball and make their own predictions for how the FTC’s non-compete ban may or may not survive in the courts. Spilling Secrets is a special monthly podcast series about the future of non-compete and trade secrets law.

    #WorkforceWednesday: SpaceX Victory: Court Questions NLRB's Constitutional Authority

    Last week, a Texas district judge challenged the constitutionality of the NLRB’s structure. Judge Albright of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas issued a preliminary injunction in favor of SpaceX, suggesting that the president’s inability to dismiss NLRB administrative law judges and board members could be unconstitutional. Epstein Becker Green attorneys Steve Swirsky and Erin Schaefer provide their analysis of this ruling, its implications for employers, and the potential for similar challenges to arise across other jurisdictions.

    Spilling Secrets: Can FTC’s Non-Compete Ban Survive Without Chevron Deference?

    The FTC’s ban on non-competes will go into effect on September 4, 2024, but legal challenges remain. So, how can employers prepare? In this episode of Spilling Secrets, Epstein Becker Green attorneys Peter A. Steinmeyer, Erik W. Weibust, and Paul DeCamp tell us more about how the U.S. Supreme Court’s overruling of the Chevron doctrine might affect the FTC’s ability to regulate non-competes. They also discuss a Texas court’s preliminary injunction against the FTC’s non-compete ban* and how various legal challenges have led to a somewhat anticlimactic atmosphere in the employment landscape related to the ban. *On Tuesday, July 23, after this episode was recorded, a federal judge in Pennsylvania reached the opposite conclusion and declined to temporarily halt the FTC’s non-compete ban. Spilling Secrets is a special monthly podcast series about the future of non-compete and trade secrets law.
