What You Need to Know If You Have Interns, Minors, or Volunteers Working for You
When you bring in interns and minors for the summer, you have a great opportunity to train your next employees and build your talent pipeline.
Here's a great guide on making sure you follow wage hour law too.
AI is only Artificial; Don't Let it Make Hiring Decisions
When people make decisions based on an artificial intelligence (AI) prediction or recommendation, that data will help confirm the prior prediction. Pretty soon you have a completely self-licking ice cream cone. And a mess.
Read this great explanation about potential issues in using AI for hiring decisions.
Everything You Probably Didn't Want to Know About Noncompete Agreements but Should Understand Anyway
The rules on noncompete agreements vary widely by state. They are not always stated clearly in the laws. Often the rules evolve through court cases.
While this statute generally applies to government employees, the legislature has stated that further restrictions on discrimination claims will not fly in Illinois. This doesn't change much now but may matter down the line.
Check out this comprehensive look at noncompete agreements and how different state laws approach when or whether they can be enforced.
Disaster and Grief Finding Their Way into Employment Law
Paid sick leave is not just for illness. States like Colorado are extending paid sick leave to employer or school closures due to weather or other unexpected events. The new law also applies when employees are grieving the death of a family member.
Florida's New Immigration Reporting Laws Will Affect Employers
The Florida reporting law is designed to prohibit some immigrants from working, driving, traveling to work with others, and receiving emergency or any other medical care.
