Excellence at Nossaman
Nossaman claims “to uphold the highest standards of excellence.” Fine! But is it doing anything to defy that claim?
Consider these excerpts from a client alert recently published by Nossaman:
Minimum Wage Increase
Effective January 1, 2008, the California minimum wage increased from $7.50 to $8.00.
The new increase also affects exempt employees because they must receive a monthly salary equal to twice the minimum wage for full employment.
Hourly Rate Threshold for Computer Professionals Lowered
Prior law exempted computer professionals from overtime requirements if the employee is primarily engaged in work that is intellectual or creative and earns an hourly rate of at least $41.00 per hour, indexed for inflation.
Hands Free Cell Phone
Effective July 1, 2008, drivers cannot use a cell phone while driving a motor vehicle unless he or she is using a hands-free device.
California and Federal Military Leave Laws
The California Military leave law requires employers with 25 or more employees to give qualified employees as many as 10 unpaid days off when their spouse is on leave from military deployment.
NOTE: If you claim excellence, don’t publish things that haven’t been polished. If you do, then you’re just shooting yourself in the foot, so to say.
