California and New York recently passed laws that require employers to disclose a salary amount or pay range for advertised positions.

I was looking around a popular business-oriented social media site, and the content that some companies posted caught my trained employment lawyer’s eye. One, in particular, posted a lot of photos of employees who were all uniformly young (in their 30s and younger), energetic, and white.

It’s Women’s History Month, so it is a good time to talk about avoiding sex discrimination in the workplace. This topic came to me by way of a personal experience.

Today, the U.S. Department of Labor announced the final nail in the coffin of the OSHA COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS).
