Happy Friday! I just released a brand new episode of my “Employment Law Now” podcast! Today’s episode looks at things that make you go “hmmm”, such as:
- Instituting a 4-day workweek?
- An outright/permanent ban on arbitration agreements?
- Office gossip = discrimination?
- Hairstyle as a protected characteristic?
- An offensive statement is offensive from a supervisor, but not from a co-worker?
- [TEASER ALERT: The latest update on the US DOL’s new overtime rule….?]
