For Your Amusement: EEOC Enforcement, Part 2

Over the past several years, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has stepped up enforcement aimed at protecting young workers in low wage jobs from sexual harassment, discrimination, and retaliation. In 2022, EEOC Vice Chair Jocelyn Samuels spoke out about EEOC’s efforts to reach teenagers, who “aren’t aware of their rights, and are particularly subject to harassment and other forms of discrimination at work.” In January 2023, the EEOC published a draft of its Strategic Enforcement Plan for Fiscal Years 2023-2027, which emphasized the EEOC’s focus on “vulnerable and underserved workers,” including seasonal and temporary workers in lower wage jobs, and among other areas. In this two-part episode, Seyfarth Partners Rob Szyba and Andrew Scroggins discuss EEOC leadership, its enforcement actions and trends in recent years, and the potential implications for employers in the amusement and attractions industries, as well as ideas for ways those employers can stay out of the EEOC’s crosshairs.

Thinking Clearly: NYC Amends Its Pay Transparency Law, Effective Date Now November 1, 2022

Earlier this year, New York City caught the attention of many employers who have employees in New York City by passing a law requiring pay transparency in job postings. Specifically, the law required that every time an employer would advertise a job, promotion, or transfer opportunity, the job posting must include the minimum and maximum salary for the position. On May 12, 2022 -- three days before the law was scheduled to go into effect -- New York City Mayor Adams signed into law an amendment that made significant changes to the law, such as pushing back the effective date to November 1, 2022. Join Rob Szyba and Maria Papasevastos as they discuss the various other revisions to the law, as well as their thoughts on compliance for employers.
