On April 23, 2024, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) held an open meeting and voted 3-2 (along party lines) to issue a Final Rule that bans post-employment non-compete agreements. According to the FTC, approximately 30 million people nationwide (1 in 5 workers in the U.S.) are bound by non-compete clauses.  

The Department of Labor (DOL) released its highly anticipated final rule regarding overtime for white collar workers. As expected, the final rule will nearly double the salary threshold for exempt workers beginning January 1, 2025, with a smaller increase beginning on July 1, 2024.

As the pandemic continues to wind down and vaccines are more widely distributed, employers are bringing employees back to work and may be collecting or accessing data through the use of vaccine cards, temperature checks, COVID-19 screening questions, workplace monitoring apps, and more. Join us for Episode 4, where we discuss not only the data privacy considerations associated with bringing employees back to work, but also the labor and employment considerations. This month, a guest speaker from McGrath North’s labor and employment group, Cody Brookhouser-Sisney, joins Caroline and Stacey for a panel discussion.
