2nd Podcast Episode Released – “Employment Law Now”
Michael Schmidt
The 2nd episode of my “Employment Law Now” podcast is now released! If you have already subscribed before (and thank you), it should have appeared in your podcast feed automatically by now. Otherwise, feel free to subscribe to the podcast and get new episodes as they are released every two weeks.
In this week’s episode, we talk about employment law developments involving the DOL and Supreme Court nominees, regular attendance as an essential job function, and a potential new category of damages for certain FLSA cases. Also joining me is former FBI Special Agent Austin Berglas to discuss recent cybersecurity and data breach issues for employers.
Michael C. Schmidt is the vice chair of the firm’s Labor & Employment Department, and the office managing partner, vice chair, of the New York Midtown office, where he is resident. For more than two decades, Mike has concentrated his practice on representing companies and management in all facets of employment law, such as: (i) defense in litigation involving wage and hour (overtime and unpaid compensation), discrimination, harassment, retaliation and whistle-blowing, non-competes and trade secrets, and disability and other leave-related issues; (ii) day-to-day counseling and in-house training on issues from hiring to firing, and other questions unique to his client’s industries and business; and (iii) drafting and reviewing employment agreements, termination and severance agreements, confidentiality and non-competes, and employment policies and manuals.
