Martin, Pringle, Oliver, Wallace & Bauer, L.L.P. is pleased to present the September/October 2014 issue of Employment Law Briefing.  In it we discuss:

• A case in which a company only partly accommodated an employee’s request for a time shift change, claiming that meeting the request in full would violate seniority rules under a collective bargaining agreement;
• A case in which a terminated employee claimed that the employer’s confidentiality clause, which prohibited sharing company “financial information” and “personnel information,” conflicted with the employee’s right under the National Labor Relations Act to discuss wages with others;
• A case in which a company determined that employees’ contribution rates would be determined by the person’s age when he or she joined the plan, since older employees’ contributions would earn interest for fewer years than those of younger participants; and
• A case that determined whether an employee, who provided sufficient notice of leave, was truly qualified for FMLA protection.

The ideas we discuss in Employment Law Briefing are relevant to your success, and we would welcome your questions or comments. We realize that we cannot fully address these complex issues in a few short articles, so we invite you to call us to discuss your needs. Martin, Pringle, Oliver, Wallace & Bauer, L.L.P. would be glad to assist you in any way we can.
