Is it time to put away those complicated spreadsheets and graphs delineating the employment laws of each state in which your company operates? Jennifer Rubin of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo makes the case for unified employment policies for multistate employers in this recent blog post.
“Once a benefit standard level is set, that standard becomes the floor below which no one may fall,” suggests Rubin. For example, California requires all employers to provide employees working at least 30 days in a year with at least three fully paid sick days, whereas Mississippi has no paid sick leave law. So in this case, California would be the standard. But it’s not as simple as looking to state law only for the analysis. “You also need to know the cities or localities where your employees are working,” she says.
