Lake Effect Ripples

The HR world has been changing quickly, and there are important legal issues that all organizations need to understand to remain compliant. Clients and non-clients alike rely on our timely and informative blogs to understand the important issues of the day. 

Employer responses to Executive Orders should be tailored based on corporate and regulatory status, funding sources, and industry. Lake Effect is here to answer your questions and discuss potential implications of these recent Orders. 

With this decision, the federal court rendered all elements of the Final Rule null and void: the July 1, 2024 salary level increase, the January 1, 2025 salary level increase, and planned future increases for both.

Although the FTC’s attempted nationwide ban on noncompetes was blocked by a Texas federal judge in August 2024, that decision has no impact on the NLRB enforcement of employee rights under the NLRA.
