Employers are singing the praises for the EEOC’s online mediation program

These were the most popular employment law blog posts of 2021
If it had anything to do with COVID-19 vaccination mandates, y’all were reading. That and the third-most-read post, which leaves me wondering whether I should be taking out a restraining order against some of you. Here are the most-read posts from 2021: 5. “And just like that, the CMS vaccine…

Last week, the prestigious Financial Times announced that we had been short-listed for its “Innovative Lawyers – North America” awards, in…
Can your state require you to get the COVID-19 vaccine? At least one has a pending bill…
Image by Liz Masoner from Pixabay Enough with the “Can companies require employee COVID-19 vaccinations?” articles already! Yes, they probably can, subject to disability and religious accommodations.
