Is Your Handbook a Liability? New Standards for Workplace Rules, Policies and Procedures
As we get closer to 2024, employers should consider a review of employment practices and rules for the new year. This is especially so given the National Labor Relations Board’s (“NLRB”) decision this year in Stericycle, Inc., 372 NLRB 113 (2023).
