New York CNN —New York State is the latest jurisdiction to implement a pay disclosure law that requires employers to list salary ranges for open roles. “We’re seeing a patchwork [of different pay disclosure requirements], which makes it hard for multistate employers to navigate,” said Monica Snyder Perl, a partner at Fisher Phillips. Some laws require employers to disclose ranges just for base pay, but others mandate that information about compensation and benefits be included as well. The impact of the lawsAll the pay disclosure laws are relatively new. Leniency may continue until employers and regulators work out their questions about each jurisdiction’s pay disclosure rules, which are still being interpreted by employment lawyers and, in some cases, being amended by legislators.

The Democrat-led board in a 3-1 decision said it was reverting back to a decades-old "setting specific" test for determining when workers' abusive conduct is still protected by federal labor law.

More remote workers are traveling without their employer's permission, also known as "hush trips."

Hush trips are the most recent addition to the growing lexicon at the intersection of work and travel, joining longtime favorites "bleisure," "workation" and "digital nomad." On the employer's side, hush trips can cause tax and legal headaches if they go on for too long, Courtney Leyes, a partner at the law firm Fisher Phillips, told Insider.
A US company was ordered to pay $73,000 to a Dutch remote worker fired after not turning on his webcam.

On the federal level, the laws around employee privacy are "kind of outdated" and issues coming up now with remote work are not really covered, she said.
