Have you ever wondered what DOJ penalties could cost you for not getting out the proper disclosures to your employees? It's important to find a broker that provides compliance support so that you aren't cutting checks to the Federal Government. If you are using a broker without compliance support it's like skydiving without a parachute. #compliance #penalties #benefits

Breaking news from the FTC! As anticipated, the FTC issued its final Rule today banning most employee non-compete agreements. There is still a lot to process, but the initial takeaways from the final Rule are that (1) after the effective date (which will be 120 days after Federal Register publication), there will be a total ban on new non-compete agreements for all workers; (2) Most pre-existing worker non-compete agreements will be unenforceable; and (3) the only pre-existing non-competes that may remain enforceable will be those that are applicable to "senior executives" - defined as workers who earn more than $151,164 and are in a policy-making position. It will be interesting to see if this final Rule will ever take effect. Since the proposed Rule was first announced, the FTC has seen more than 26,000 public comments, and multiple legal challenges will surely be coming, most likely being challenges to the FTC's authority to issue such a dramatic change. A summary of the new final Rule, as well as the full text, can be found on the FTC's website, www.FTC.gov.

Helpful Information for Fellow Attorneys! Dear Colleagues, I hope this message finds you well. We're launching a weekly limited series of short informational videos that are tailor-made for legal professionals like yourself. In our inaugural episode, I took the stage as part of a distinguished panel at the 2023 Annual Virginia Workers Compensation Commission Educational Conference & Exhibition in Richmond, VA. The topic at hand was "Challenges of Representing Victims of Workplace Violence in a Virginia Workers Compensation Case." I dove into various aspects of handling these cases, offering my insights. In this snippet, I tackle the crucial aspect of proving an augmented risk of violence or assault, citing pertinent facts from a recent VA Court of Appeals Case. Positioned beside me are defense attorney Stephen Marshall and Tabitha Saunders of the Virginia Victims Fund, creating a dynamic discussion on a topic that unfortunately remains highly relevant in our legal landscape. We understand the gravity of this issue, and our goal is to share knowledge that empowers our legal community. Join us as we navigate the complexities of workplace violence cases and gain deeper insights from seasoned professionals in the field. Let's come together to enhance our collective understanding and skill set. Stay tuned for more snippets from Joe Miller and other legal luminaries in the weeks to come! Your professional growth matters to us, and we're committed to providing valuable content that enriches your practice. #LegalInsights #WorkplaceViolence #AttorneyCommunity #KnowledgeSharing #LegalProfessionals #ProfessionalDevelopment

This is a major step in the right direction, and hopefully it sticks. Reading the article, it is worth noting that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is trying to block this ruling. Folks subjected to non-competes should make a note of this. For me, though, there is another aspect that should have some clarity: Non-disclosure agreements (NDA). Companies, including staffing companies and recruiters, are quick to require applicants and job seekers to sign NDA before proceeding further. However, those NDA often are blatantly one-sided, protecting only the hiring corporation. This is disingenuous and socially rude. Both parties should be protected equally. For example, I was fortunate enough to collaborate and co-invent with smart people to earn a US patent. I've also co-authored several books. That work is just as deserving of protection as anything a hiring manager or interviewer might communicate during an interview. The point: job seekers, even those looking for non-exec roles, have intellectual property and past work product that should be protected. Hiring companies seeking the best candidates should differentiate themselves by making mutual, bi-directional NDA a selling point to attract them. If you're looking for work, and some company is pressuring you to sign a NDA before proceeding, I recommend that you read it carefully and make a point to ensure it protects you, your property, and your past work and not just that of the corporation. You deserve it, and fair is fair. #lookingforwork #nda #noncompete #cybersecurity #author #patent
