New “Employment Law Now” Podcast Episode

Posted on December 4, 2017 by Michael Schmidt

Good faith and timing is everything in employment law, and a new episode of my “Employment Law Now” podcast has just been released today against the backdrop of that theme. In today’s episode, I pose 3 questions that employers should ask themselves in today’s climate of troubling sexual harassment news, address noteworthy decisions about the FMLA and political tweeting, and introduce a new emerging claim in employment law: “intersectional discrimination.”

New Podcast Episode – “Employment Law Now”

Posted on November 8, 2017 by Michael Schmidt

Is your company thinking about the need to do an internal gender pay equity audit? Is your company unsure of how to get started, when and how to do a pay equity audit, and what to do if an issue arises in the course of the audit? I attempt to tackle those questions for you in today’s new podcast episode. In addition to providing an update on the joint employer and overtime initiatives in Washington, DC, I am joined by David Cohen of the DCI Consulting Group to discuss what you should be thinking about when it comes to gender pay equity audits. Today is Part 1 of my interview with David, with Part 2 coming in my next episode.

I just released my new “Employment Law Now” podcast episode. Today, I address several interesting and important employment law issues: kneeling in the NFL/workplace, extended ADA leave entitlement, updates from DC on the overtime exemption rule and class action waivers, sufficient consideration for non-competes, and whether “pretty” is the new protected class.
