We are halfway through 2023 so it is a good time to look back on this year’s employment law developments so far and look forward to what lies ahead. What follows is a short overview of the legal changes that we are monitoring the closest and that we think our clients should be aware of. These changes include new laws, regulations, and decisions in the areas of workplace diversity programs, pay transparency, non-compete agreements, religious accommodations, non-disclosure and confidentiality restrictions, independent contractor relationships, whistleblowing, drug-free workplaces, and remote employee onboarding. We’ve also included our thoughts on “what now?” regarding each key legal development and potential ways to help mitigate employment law risk.
