This is a very important and long-awaited rule from FTC. If your business implements non-competes or if you are subject to a non-compete as an executive or otherwise, you should be aware of this update. Legal challenges are almost certain to result as various entities have vowed to enjoin this rule’s implementation, but the rule is final for now.

With limited scrutiny, the Federal Government has passed the second tranche of its "Closing Loopholes" legislation. This legislation, combined with the government's earlier legislative reform, more than doubles the size of the Fair Work Act 2009 and has impacts on all businesses - small and large - and the way businesses engage labour of all types. More importantly, this latest legislation includes up to 50-fold increases in penalties, reinforcing the importance of ensuring compliance in an increasingly complex legislative environment. Our take on the legislation is below. Fair Work Lawyers are running training sessions to assist businesses understand how the Closing Loopholes reforms impact them and how to prepare.

Nobody saw this coming. Slaughter and May next, to catch the September 2024 NQs, or when they review salaries in November? If not before, no doubt because for Slaughters as much as A&OShearman: "Our people are fundamental to our success and, in addition to offering a competitive remuneration and excellent benefits package, we are committed to nurturing a rewarding and supportive culture, which includes important elements such as a focus on wellbeing and engendering an environment where people can be themselves and excel.” #SalaryWars #MagicCircle #OneOfTheseFirmsIsJustLikeTheOthers https://lnkd.in/eMegDANi

It’s been over a month since California Governor Gavin Newsom signed and legislative leaders announced agreement on PAGA reform. Proactive compliance with California Law has always been a crucial tool for employers to avoid and defend against litigation, however, the new PAGA reforms expressly incentivizes employers for taking such efforts. -Employers who can demonstrate that they have taken “all reasonable steps” to comply with the Labor Code Pre-LWDA notice, can eliminate 85% of potential penalties. -Employers who can demonstrate that they have taken “all reasonable steps” to quickly fix any alleged violation Post-LWDA notice, can eliminate 70% of potential penalties. Please reach out to me to see how we can help you at Resolution Economics to review your wage and hour practices to ensure compliance with state labor laws, thereby taking advantage of the reduced PAGA penalties and at the same time cultivating a workplace culture centered on fairness and adherence to regulations. https://lnkd.in/gBgMaamC #PAGA #California #EmploymentLaw
