Legal & Legislative Updates by Walt Lachenmayr, MBA, SPHR NLRB Ambush Election Rule- The U.S Senate narrowly approved a Congressional Review Act Resolution on March 4 to stop the NLRB from implementing the "ambush election rule. However, President Obama is expected to veto the Congressional Resolution. The ambush election rule is scheduled for implementation on April 14. The rule will shorten the time in which the labor union certification is held from the current median of 38 days to as little as 11 days. The rule also requires the employer to provide union organizers with employee personal contact information. Maryland Healthy Working Families Act- This act is pending before the Maryland Senate. It requires employers with 10 or more employees to provide paid sick and safe leave; employers with 9 or less employees are required to provide this leave on an unpaid basis. The bill also includes these provisions:
• 7 days leave to employees working at least 8 hours weekly i.e. 1 hour for each 30 worked
• Permit employees to use the leave for preventive care, illness, and domestic violence for themselves or for a family member.
Inclement Weather Poses FLSA challenges- When work closes because of weather, exempt and nonexempt employees are treated differently under the Fair Labor and Standards Act (FLSA). See the link for policy guidelines and options under the law: Weather & the FLSA.
Best regards, Walt
