Every year new federal, state, and local employment laws are enacted and existing ones updated. While the list from 2025 is substantial, and often local or industry specific, some of the major employment issues to be aware of include:
- Compensation Transparency. Wage and salary information must be provided to applicants as well as comparable compensation information to requesting employees.
- Paid Time-Off. Paid leave may be required and policies for vacation time or PTO must be clear.
- Protected Categories. Numerous categories of employees are protected from discrimination or unfair treatment, and employers must provide reasonable accommodations for many of their situations.
