It’s hard to think about working at Macy’s without thinking of “Miracle on 34th Street” or David Sedaris’ comical exploits suiting up as an elf in the feted Herald Square store’s Santaland. But according to David Katz of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, Macy’s execs are probably thinking mostly about what the National Labor Relations Board is saying about the retailer’s employee handbook.
An administrative law judge recently ruled that several provisions in the handbook were unlawful. “The policies in question may look very similar to those of many employers,” Katz notes. For instance, Macy’s confidential information policy, which tells employees to share confidential company information only with those who need it for company business purposes, was deemed unlawful. Macy’s privacy policy and use of company systems policy also were under fire, as were restrictions on the use of the Macy’s logo and other intellectual property.
