A recent work health and safety (“WHS”) decision in Australia usefully illustrates the steps a court will consider when deciding whether an officer has discharged their due diligence obligations under WHS legislation.

USA: Why Employers’ Non-Competes Could Still Be at Risk Despite FTC Rule Being ‘Set Aside’
The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas in Ryan LLC v. FTC granted summary judgment “setting aside” the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC’s) Final Rule banning non-compete clauses between employers and workers on Aug. 20, 2024. The outcomes of two other cases challenging the Final Rule are unlikely to impact the status. The FTC appealed the district court’s injunction in Properties of the Villages, Inc. v. FTC to the Eleventh Circuit, which likely will affirm the lower court. The plaintiff in ATS Tree Service v. FTC voluntarily dismissed the case after unsuccessfully attempting to stay the litigation after the Ryan decision. Despite these cases, however, the FTC’s authority to identify anti-competitive activity and pursue enforcement mechanisms case-by-case remains unchallenged and intact. » Read More
USA: 2024 Election: What Employers Need to Know About Employee Voting Leave
As election day 2024 approaches, it is crucial that employers are aware of and comply with state law requirements on employee rights to voting leave.

Employers are encouraged to review their voting leave practices and policies annually as there are constant developments in this area. One example is the District of Columbia’s newly revised law described below. » Read More

To address this concern, California’s Governor signed Senate Bill (SB) 942, which requires businesses that provide generative AI systems to make accessible tools to detect whether content was created by AI. » Read More
