My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: east coast
I am interviewing for a (for profit private company) job that will have HR responsibilities for the east coast regions - which means many states I am not used to. I will have a peer HRBP that will have been the person that used to be responsible for this region (they are creating a new position and splitting her coverage). If you practice HR in any East coast state (like cbg in Mass or Elle in MD and others), I'd love to know about any oddball laws/policies in your states that someone from the outside might be unaware of -- or any links to any great state employment websites ( I am spoiled as TX has a really good one but TX will not be in my region although it has a lot of federal information where TX doesn't have anything itself). I had a "final" interview today where I was told by a C level that I definitely had the experience and the fit that they want. So here's hoping for an offer soon! I really need out of my current telecommuting position (lack of work is driving me bonkers!)
I am planning on creating a chart once I know exactly which states are in my region (but definitely know Mass and MD are)..... I am pretty solid on the federal level, so looking at more of the state level. And if anyone wants to brainstorm topics, here's what I have so far in no particular order:
(1) wage laws - allowable garnishments, forced direct deposit, PTO payout at term, accrued mandatory sick time, etc
(2) employee file availability, new hire requirements
(3) Unemployment benefits
(4) workers compensation
(5) state level protected leaves that mirror FMLA
(6) state level EEOC
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
