Launched in August 2020, McGuireWoods frequently updates its comprehensive guide to Washington, D.C.’s complex employment laws. This nearly 180-page, fully annotated publication covers D.C.’s leave laws, wage-and-hour laws, and other employee rights. The question-and-answer format helps human resources professionals, in-house counsel and small-business owners avoid pitfalls and quickly access answers to common questions.
McGuireWoods is pleased to announce the ninth edition of the guide, which addresses some key changes since the last update, including:
- analysis of the brand-new D.C. Wage Transparency Act;
- statutory updates to the D.C. Wage Payment and Collection Law regarding classification of employees and independent contractors;
- new case law analysis under the D.C. Minimum Wage Act regarding classification of employees and independent contractors;
- updates to the D.C. minimum wage and D.C. living wage;
- updated links to posters, such as the Voting Leave poster for the June 2024 primary; and citations to new caselaw.
