In this issue of HR What's New, key discussions focus on the impact of the Loper Bright decision on employment laws, the risks of improperly classifying workers, strategies to reassure job seekers amid the rise of "ghost jobs," and a legal lesson for employers from a recent academic lawsuit. Recent updates highlight the Supreme Court’s clarification of the standard for injunctions under the NLRA, OSHA’s updated Walkaround Rule granting unions access during site inspections, and significant rulings from the Idaho and Iowa Supreme Courts on workplace policies and hostile work environments.


Compliance dates to watch include New Hampshire’s new law on workplace discrimination based on hair texture or protective hairstyles (effective Sep 1), and Maryland’s wage range disclosure requirements and contributions to the Time to Care Act of 2022 (effective Oct 1). Topic analysis updates cover updates to noncompete contract regulations and revisions to maternity and pregnancy laws in several states, along with updates to workplace notices across multiple states, including smoking policies, paid sick leave, and pregnancy accommodations.


Time-saving resources include training on water conservation and policies covering adoption assistance and key policy guidelines.
