Workplace violence is in the news again. It is a difficult and frightening problem that implicates several aspects of employment law. This episode covers several thoughts on the issue of workplace violence and considers steps employers may take to lessen the risk of an incident, particularly in the context of employee terminations.
A recent trend in labor and employment law has been the passage of pay transparency laws. These are laws that require employers to either disclose salary ranges for posted jobs to applicants who request the information or in some cases, to all applicants in the actual job posting. At present, there are eight states and a handful of municipalities that have passed these laws but a lot more have pending legislation so I would expect to see more laws passed in the next couple of years.
The states are:
- California
- Colorado
- Connecticut
- Maryland
- Nevada
- New York
- Rhode Island
- Washington
