We are pleased to present Volume 3 in our periodic series of “Roundup of Recent Notable Employment Law Rulings” memos summarizing federal court rulings that we think should be of interest to employers. Volume 3 covers decisions of note issued since we published Volume 2 in March.
Included in this roundup are cases addressing the scope of the Family and Medical Leave Act, whether state laws are preempted by federal laws, the scope of the transportation worker exemption of the Federal Arbitration Act, payments excludable from the “regular rate” under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), job sharing as a reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the extent to which circulating a scurrilous rumor can constitute unlawful sexual harassment under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
