The State Of Employment Law: 7 States Have Heat Illness Prevention Requirements (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this series, we will explore some of the ways states vary from one another in their employment laws. While the start of fall is bringing cooler temperatures to many parts of the country, it is still hot – even dangerously so – in other regions. Federal OSHA has general worker safety requirements, but no specific requirements related to heat illness prevention. As usual, some states are starting to pass laws to fill in where federal protections are absent. For example, California law addresses
The State Of Employment Law: Several States Require Sexual Harassment Training (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this series, we will explore some of the ways states vary from one another in their employment laws. Title VII prohibits sexual harassment, but it does not require any anti-harassment training for employees. While many employers provide anti-harassment training, many multistate employers are unaware that several states have specific sexual harassment training requirements.

In this series, we will explore some of the ways states vary from one another in their employment laws. There is no federal law requiring paid jury duty leave – in fact, there is no federal law protecting jury duty leave at all. While most states require employers to excuse employees for jury duty, they usually do not require employers to pay employees for this time spent out of work. However, there are outliers. Starting on Jan. 1, 2027, Illinois employers with 26 or more employees will be requ
The State Of Employment Law: States Are Passing Their Own Disparate Impact Laws (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this series, we will explore some of the ways states vary from one another in their employment laws. Disparate impact discrimination claims relate to facially neutral policies or actions that cause disproportionate harm to a certain protected class. While federal law prohibits disparate impact discrimination, recent developments create doubt about whether such laws will continue to be enforced. In June 2026, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) published an enforcement plan stat
