Workplace Review

Kristin Case February 22, 2023 FMLA, Uncategorized 0

We’ve been busy lately working on several cases in litigation including a workplace defamation case in which we just received a favorable decision!  That’s the good news.  The bad news is that this weekly review missed a couple of weeks.  But let’s not dwell on that and instead let’s catchup!  

Happy Birthday FMLA!

First, on February 5 one of my favorite …

A Week of Good News

Last week I wrote about employers doing dumb things.  This week we’re sharing only good news.

First, not all companies are bad.  Many do the right thing and we saw an example of that this week when Intel cut high-level management salaries instead of slashing its workforce.  The CEO is taking a 25% pay cut while other high-level …

Employers Behaving Badly Edition

Although this is supposed to be a weekly review of workplace news, life got in the way last week and I didn’t get it done. But I am making amends by bringing you several stories about employers behaving very badly.

Lawyers behaving badly:  Unfortunately, some of the worst employer behavior seems to come out of law firms.  This …

Workplace Week in Review

We’re coming in late with this Workplace Week in Review but only because there was so much news to sift through!

First, Happy Martin Luther King Day.  I hope everyone is at home, resting and reflecting on Dr. King’s teachings.  One of my favorites, which I try to remember during trying times, is in the image above.

If you read any news …

Introducing the Workplace Week in Review

Kristin Case December 9, 2022 Blog, Uncategorized, Week in Review 0

We at Case + Sedey love employment law, mainly because we love helping employees but also because the news that comes out of the workplace is always interesting and, oftentimes, hilariously unbelievable.  In a new (hopefully) weekly installment of the Workplace Week in Review we will highlight the best of that news.  This week, we learned how *not* to manage employees, …

Recording workplace conversations

A friendly reminder: recording workplace conversations is still illegal

Kristin Case December 5, 2022 Uncategorized 0

 

Despite what many employees think, you may not record workplace conversations.

Illinois is one of only eleven states that require two-party consent to the recording of a private conversation.  In the rest of the 39 states, only one party’s consent is needed.  And, despite what many think, workplace conversations are often “private conversations” for purposes of the law.

I wrote about the …

Biden to Sign Law Ending Mandatory Arbitration of Sexual Harassment Cases

Congress recently passed the “Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act of 2021” (H.R. 4445).  This bill received increasingly rare bipartisan support and we expect President Biden to sign it into law any day.

Let’s take a quick look at what this law does and what it means …
