NLRB Cracks Down on Confidentiality and Non-Disparagement Provisions in Severance Agreements
The NLRB held in McLaren Macomb that it is an unfair labor practice for employers to include non-disparagement and confidentiality provisions in severance agreements.
Supreme Court Opens Overtime to Highly Compensated Employees
The high court has ruled that a daily-rate worker earning over $200,000 a year is entitled to overtime because he does not meet the requirements for an overtime exemption under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Ninth Circuit Keeps Mandatory Arbitration Alive in California
The Ninth Circuit held that AB 51, which made it illegal for California employers to require employees to sign arbitration agreements, is preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act.
