Brooklyn law firm advises clients on new labor regulations
Rachel Demarest Gold, a partner at Abrams Fensterman, Brooklyn’s largest law firm, has issued critical guidance to business clients in light of new labor regulations affecting joint employment, independent contractors, and frequency of pay laws.
Abrams Fensterman and Gold are proactively ensuring that their clients stay ahead of significant changes in labor law. Partner Rachel Demarest Gold recently reached out to the firm’s business clients with crucial updates on new regulations that could have far-reaching implications for employers.
Gold highlights the National Labor Relations Board’s new rule on joint employment, effective from February. The rule expands the definition of a joint employer to any business with the authority to control essential terms of employment, regardless of whether this authority is exercised. This change means businesses could be held liable for labor practices at locations they don’t directly manage.
