In this issue of HR What's New, key discussions focus on the evolving landscape of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) one year after the SFFA v. Harvard/UNC decision. Other topics include navigating labor and employment challenges in mergers and acquisitions, the EEOC's approach to employee training, and developing AI principles for the workplace. Recent updates highlight the NLRB's struggles with skeptical courts, the 5th Circuit's ruling on the Salary Basis Test and FLSA overtime exemptions, Connecticut's expansion of paid sick leave, and the Michigan Supreme Court's ruling striking down the 'Adopt-and-Amend' strategy.


Compliance dates to watch include New Hampshire's new law prohibiting workplace discrimination based on hair texture or protective hairstyles (effective Sep 1), and Maryland's requirements for wage range disclosures and the start of contributions to the Time to Care Act of 2022 (effective Oct 1). Topic analysis updates cover Connecticut's expanded sick leave law and Illinois' updates to the Human Rights Act, including extended statute of limitations and new anti-discrimination protections.


Time-saving resources include a checklist for the Learned and Creative Professional Exemption, an HR Works podcast on leading teams through change, and updated security rules and regulations policy.
