The Employment Law Blog Carnival: April Showers Edition #ELBC

April 20, 2015 | by Eric B. Meyer

Three highlights of my weekend:

This sword-balloon fight at dinner on Saturday.
Eagles sign Tim Tebow. Because, what could possibly go wrong by reuniting this with this in Philadelphia?
Catching up on the pilot of the new FX show, The Comedians. I’m all in.

Honorable mention — ok, better than the balloon fight and the Tebow signing, but not quite #3 — was catching up with the latest edition of the Employment Law Blog Carnival, which my friends at CPEhr’s Small Biz HR Blog hosted this month.

I love the #ELBC. Well, I did invent it. But, besides that, it’s a great collection of the latest from employment-law bloggers from around the country. This month’s edition includes posts on FMLA eligibility, a nice recap of Young v. UPS, medical marijuana, and your workplace kitchen. So, be sure to check it out.

You know that scientist in the action movie who has all the right answers if only the government would just pay attention? If you want a nerdy employment-lawyer brain to help you solve HR-compliance issues proactively before the action sequence, I’m here to help. I'm not only an EEOC-approved trainer, I offer day-to-day employment counseling, workplace audits and investigations, and other prophylactic measures to keep your workplace working while you focus on running your business. And for those employers in the midst of conflict, I bring all of my know-how to bear as your zealous advocate. I’m a trial-tested, experienced litigator that has represented companies of all sizes in a veritable alphabet soup of employment law claims, such as the ADA, ADEA, CEPA, FMLA, FLSA, NJLAD, PHRA, Title VII, and USERRA. I also help clients litigate disputes involving restrictive covenants such as non-competition and non-solicitation agreements, as well as conflicts over use of trade secrets and other confidential information.
