Welcome to my latest Monday Morning Briefing, as folks in the mountains of California try to dig out from under the snow, Ukraine enters its second year of war, and Los Angeles starts rolling out the red carpet in preparation for its big night this weekend – the 95th Academy Awards. Which also means my…
NLRB Pushing Back on Confidentiality and Non-Disparagement Clauses, SCOTUS Confirming the Salary Test
Welcome to my latest Monday Morning Briefing, and I hope you all are warm, safe and dry after that dramatic weekend. I am still putting my house back together after nearly two days without power, and many of my neighbors are still without power. And oh, here comes the rain again today. But it’s been…
Ninth Circuit Strikes Down AB 51
Welcome to my latest Monday Morning Briefing, which admittedly, is not coming out anywhere close to morning today. But in my defense, today is a holiday (for my office, anyway). And I promised my daughter I would take her to breakfast (which I did). And I used the day off to make some overdue doctor’s…
Hollywood’s Reminder about Ban the Box, Background Check, and “Internship” laws
Welcome to my latest Monday Morning Briefing. Happy February, we finally cleared the longest month ever. Also, as a reminder, while I try to put these out every week, more often of late it’s been averaging every other week. I guess I should take it as flattery that if I miss a week, I get…

Return of the Normal Cold and Flu
HO HO HO, happy holidays, and welcome to my latest Monday Morning Briefing. We are smack dab in the middle of the holidays, party season, gift buying, house decorating, cold and flu season, handbook update season, full on seasonal stress. ALL of which we will discuss today. FIRST, THANK YOU TO ALL WHO TURNED UP…
2023 Employee Handbook Update
Good morning, welcome to my latest Monday Morning Briefing, and Happy Halloween. I gave you so much content the previous two Briefings, I decided to give you a few weeks off to absorb it all. A few of you actually made comments such as “where did I go?” Don’t worry; I’m here – just keeping…
New CA Employment Laws: A Deep Dive
New California Labor & Employment Laws
New CA Employment Laws!
Good morning, welcome back to my latest Monday Morning Briefing. I’ve been on a two week hiatus since my trip half way around the world and took off for Rosh HaShanah last week (Happy 5783 for those who also count the same way). I had hoped to have a little time to wistfully posting about…
