Miscellaneous

Happy Summer, people! I thought I'd share a few noteworthy L&E developments that were on my desk during the last few weeks. Don't shoot the messenger, but you're going to have to read some more COVID safety regs before you head to the beach.

Hello Lynchburg SHRM!

It was a joy to see many of you at the "How a Lawsuit Works" webinar. Leah and I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope you did too. We're looking forward to next time. I've been getting a lot of calls about mask policies so I thought I'd share some info with the group. Some of you may subscribe to Woods Rogers' eAlerts, which we keep current with big developments of interest to HR professionals.

tOne of the few employment-related laws introduced-but-not-passed in the 2020 General Assembly was a prohibition against some employers (25+ EEs) requiring a prospective employee to disclose their salary history, asking them about it on a job application or in an interview, or seeking that information elsewhere. The VEC would administer the new law, which would carry a civil penalty.
