The Center for Workplace Compliance (CWC), our affiliated nonprofit membership association, presents a round-up of employment-related state and local laws that have come to its attention since its last update in April.
Topics involving more than one state include paid leave in Illinois, Maryland, and New York; and the addition of protected classes to equal pay laws in both Maryland and Washington state. Other developments include the passage of legislation prohibiting race-based hair discrimination in employment in Vermont (H. 363) and Virginia’s addition of “ethnic origin” as a protected class to its employment nondiscrimination statute (SB 7).
CWC members can read more about these and other state and local legislative developments here.
