Expert Analysis

Get Ready For Increased Minimum Wages

In preparation for increasing minimum wages across the country, employers should update their payroll practices, place workplace posters concerning minimum wage appropriately and ensure that employees are correctly classified as exempt or nonexempt, say attorneys with Edwards Wildman Palmer LLP.
OFCCP Guidelines — Scientifically Valid But Unclear

The lack of specificity in the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs' new compensation guidelines may be frustrating to federal contractors, but the upside may be that the OFCCP will now try to accurately model the contractor’s compensation decisions, says Audrius Girnius of Advanced Analytical Consulting Group Inc.
Business Judgment Rules The Roost In Exec Pay Analysis

The Delaware Supreme Court’s ruling in Freedman v. Adams affirms that employers, and corporate boards, have wide latitude in making executive compensation decisions. In upholding the Delaware Chancery Court ruling, the court focused on the board’s exercise of its business judgment, say attorneys with Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP.
Can Employers Force Arbitration Of FCA Retaliation Claims?

As seen in Winston v. Academi Training Center Inc., a court may decide that one or two bad terms renders an entire arbitration clause unenforceable, thus eliminating the company’s ability to compel arbitration of False Claims Act retaliation claims. Companies should proceed with caution when drafting aggressive or boilerplate arbitration clauses, say attorneys with Nixon Peabody LLP.
How Lawyers Benefit From Early Neutral Evaluation

Early neutral evaluation usually asks a retired judge to consider one party’s case, as if preparing to rule on summary judgment or presiding over a bench trial. Effective evaluation can supply a reality check on a case — it gives the lawyer the gift of seeing the case as others see it, says James Rosenbaum, a panelist with JAMS and former U.S. district judge for the District of Minnesota.

While the U.S. Supreme Court decision — expected in 2014 — on the definition of "clothes" under the Fair Labor Standards Act might have some impact on the general question of whether time spent donning and doffing work clothes is compensable, the ruling will be most significant to employers who rely on FLSA section 203(o) and collective bargaining agreements to exclude donning and doffing activities from compensable time, says Elizabeth Arce of Liebert Cassidy Whitmore.
China's Remedy For Labor Inequity Could Spark Unrest

New amendments to China's Employment Contract Law will take effect on July 1, 2013. If strictly enforced, they will severely limit the ability of foreign and domestic employers in China to use dispatched workers from labor dispatch agencies — as well as create the potential for social unrest, says Kevin Jones of Faegre Baker Daniels LLP.
Sequestration Raises Labor Law Risks For Contractors

Notwithstanding the additional flexibility provided by the spending bill that President Obama signed on March 26, sequestration will continue to cause significant uncertainty for government contractors due to government customers cutting programs, tasks and personnel. In selecting the employees who will be impacted by these cuts, contractors should apply reduction-in-force principles to reduce the likelihood of discrimination claims, say attorneys with Proskauer Rose LLP.
Know Your Risks Before You Make Your Bracket

March Madness, Super Bowl and Fantasy Football pools have become ingrained in the American workplace, and while many employees and employers view betting pools as harmless fun, permitting such activities creates a wide range of risks for employers, say attorneys with Ford & Harrison LLP.
Rule 12(e): What Is It Good For? Absolutely Nothing

The recent evolution of case law governing the standard for Rule 12(b)(6) motions to dismiss reveals that Rule 12(e) serves no practical purpose in modern pleading practice, says Nathan Kipp of Seyfarth Shaw LLP.
