Here's my latest blog post discussing the fascinating topics of #tolling, #jurisdiction and #statuteoflimitations in actions under the #FLSA. employingalabama.com/2023/06…

If OSHA has a specific safety standard covering a workplace hazard, and an employer complies with that standard, OSHA cannot cite the employer for a "general duty" violation. #OSHA #generalduty #employmentlaw #safety employingalabama.com/2023/06…

Sometimes, employers think employees "invent" religious beliefs to get out of work requirements. That position can get you sued. #titlevii #EEOC #religion Fear the Beard: EEOC Sues Employer Who Wouldn’t Allow Facial Hair employingalabama.com/2023/05…

A Florida employer appears to have reduced an employee's hourly rate of pay to reduce its overtime burden. The Eleventh Circuit just found that such a reduction can violate the Fair Labor Standards Act. Read more in my blog. #flsa #overtime #employmentlaw employingalabama.com/2023/05…

Two lessons: (1) be careful what you post on social media; and, (2) you can be sued if you actively try to get somebody fired for what they posted on social media. employingalabama.com/2023/05…

Do you require your employees to change their passwords regularly? Yeah, stop doing that. More password security measures you should drop are here: wsj.com/articles/annoying-pa… #cybersecurity #privacy

Annoying Password Rules Actually Make Us Less Secure

Forcing users to change their passwords, mandating special characters are outdated but persistent rules. “Some bits of old password wisdom have turned into a bit of a religion.”

Joe Theisman was the keynote speaker at the @fdcclaw Winter Meeting today. Very inspirational message, but the funniest moment was when he asked for a Cleveland Browns fan and said: “Let me show you something you’re never gonna see in your lifetime.”
