EEOC Gives Employers Extra Time to File EEO-1 Pay Data Reports
 On July 13, 2016, the EEOC announced revisions to its proposal to require federal contractors and employers
with 100 or more employees to add pay data to the information collected on EEO-1 reports. The original proposal, announced by the EEOC earlier this year, would add data on pay ranges and hours worked to the information collected from EEO-1s beginning with the September 2017 report. The data already collected from EEO-1 reports provides the federal government with workforce profiles that are sorted by race, ethnicity and gender...Full Text Here >

Chicago Adopts Paid Sick Leave Following Burgeoning National Trend
 Late last month, the Chicago City Council unanimously approved a new paid sick leave ordinance requiring virtually every employer in the city to provide at least some paid time off to employees for sick leave purposes.

NLRB Drops Other Shoe on Temporary/Contract Employee Relationships
The National Labor Relations Board announced that it will now conduct representation elections and require collective bargaining in single combined units composed of what it refers to as “solely employed employees” and “jointly employed employees,” meaning that two separate employers will be required to join together to bargain over such employees’ terms and conditions of employment.” To understand the significance of Miller & Anderson, one must consider the Board’s August 2015 decision in Browning Ferris Industries, in which the Board adopted a new and far more relaxed standard for holding two entities to be joint employers...Full Text Here >

New York and San Francisco Approve Mandatory Paid Family Leave
Both the State of New York and the City of San Francisco recently adopted significant mandates guaranteeing paid family leave to eligible employees. New York now becomes one of four states mandating paid family leave, alongside California, New Jersey and Rhode Island. The State of Washington passed a paid family leave law in 2007, but it has yet to be implemented. At the federal level, family leave is governed by the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, which provides eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave. There is as yet no federal law mandating paid leave, however. The new laws adopted in New York and San Francisco represent efforts to bridge that gap...Full Text Here >
