1. New York City enacts “fair workweek” legislation. Mayor Bill de Blasio has signed a package of bills into law limiting scheduling flexibility for fast-food and retail employers. New York City is the third major city in the United States, after San Francisco and Seattle, to enact this kind of legislation. The bills require fast-food employers to provide new hires with good-faith estimates of the number of hours that they will work per week and to pay workers a premium for scheduling changes made less than 14 days in advance. Jeffrey Landes, from Epstein Becker Green, has more.

    (1) DOL Rescinds Joint-Employer and Classification Guidance

    Our top story: The Department of Labor (“DOL”) withdraws Obama-era joint-employer guidance. Last week, the DOL announced that it has withdrawn its 2015 Administrator’s Interpretation on the misclassification of employees as independent contractors, as well as its 2016 guidance expanding the definition of a “joint employer.” Both Interpretations sought to expand the coverage of the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) without the notice-and-comment requirements for new regulations. The DOL stated that this does not change the legal responsibilities of employers under the FLSA.

    (3) Federal Judge Says ADA May Cover Gender Dysphoria

    The Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) may cover gender dysphoria. A transgender woman filed two ADA claims against her former employer. The employer requested dismissal of the case, noting that gender identity disorders are expressly excluded from coverage by the ADA. A Pennsylvania federal judge declined to dismiss the case, finding that a transgender person could have other substantially limiting impairments that are caused by “gender identity disorder”—such as the symptoms of gender dysphoria that this plaintiff alleges—which could be covered under the ADA. There has been a lot of litigation under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 relating to gender issues. This ADA challenge represents a different approach to gender-equity litigation.

    (4) Philadelphia's Salary History Law Stands, for Now

    Philadelphia’s law banning salary history inquiries will stand, for now. A district judge has thrown out a challenge to the new law, which prohibits employers from inquiring about an applicant's salary history. The Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce (“Chamber”) sought a preliminary injunction against the law. The judge dismissed the case, finding that the Chamber lacked standing to bring the lawsuit because it failed to provide an example of a specific member that would be impacted by the law. The Chamber was given leave to file an amended complaint, but, in the meantime, the law will be in effect. The city has not indicated whether it will begin enforcing the law.

  4. The Department of Labor’s (DOL’s) “Fiduciary Rule” will go into effect on June 9. The controversial rule will require financial professionals who advise clients on retirement accounts to promote suitable products and act in the best interests of their clients. Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta announced in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that there is “no principled legal basis” to delay the rule, although full enforcement won’t begin until 2018. The DOL intends to issue a Request for Information to seek public opinion on revisions and related exemptions. Sharon Lippett, from Epstein Becker Green, has more.
