No link I read it yesterday.
Also eligibility for overtime work has expanded.
Thanks Biden!

Edit here:

www.cnbc.com

Workers earning up to $58K a year could soon become eligible for overtime pay

The Biden-Harris administration announced a final rule Tuesday that raises the minimum salary threshold to qualify for overtime pay.

It's still crap. At least I got paid at regular time for working overtime, being salaried toward the end, but looking back, I wish I had that time back for myself.

NCAs were actually a great idea to help protect companies from employees who sold their loyalty to the highest bidder.

I guess they will have to devise another method of protection.

Wait, isn't that the purpose of gaining experience, and bettering your skill set, so you can better yourself, and get a better paying job? I really want to know what company's junk you have in your mouth, to believe that companies should be protected at the expense of people making a better life for themselves.

Yes, I know I am a bit late to the discussion, but all NCA's do is stiffle competition, prevent inovation, allow companies to abuse, control, and underpay their staff. Which keeps wages stagnet, as well as hender employment oportunities for many people, and in the long run, hurts not only our workforce, but this country as a whole.

So employees who enjoyed being capitalists is a burden to capitalists? Lulz
 
Something like 99% of NCAs are illegal in California, been that way since 1872. Today, California has a GSP of $3.89 trillion, making it the 5th largest economy in the world. Not trying to prove causation by correlation, just saying NCAs are in no way a critical ingredient for economic growth and prosperity.

NCAs are a niche tool pushed way too far to become wage suppression, plain and simple. It's good news that other states are waking up on this. Soon I expect we'll only see them in certain red states still very hostile to workers rights (Tennessee, North Carolina, Alabama, Texas and Florida most noteably)

Still can't believe Florida just banned heat protections for outdoor workers in extreme heat. Sorry Miguel, your fair odds of dying from heat stroke just aren't as important as De Santis donors not wanting to pay money for things that might affect productivity and timetables. Florida will just have to lose some people come July and August I guess. Some heartless shit.

Pretty much this. While I can see there being certain employees where this makes sense, businesses have done what businesses do taken it to the extreme simply because it’s easy and they are doing what their competitors are doing. Likely no reason for the overwhelming majority of people covered by these agreements to have them and I suspect in the majority of court cases they’d be void for being too restrictive thus why companies never enforce these agreements. Better to have someone break this chain of uselessness.

Get a load of this chump.

Many companies don't have stock grants, and inclusion in weekly payroll is called being a fucking employee. It's not a reward, it's a business transaction: human labor for money.

That's the kind of DEI we can all get behind. Not sure what else you want. 🤔

How about put your ball of DEI straw down and tell us how California managed that kind of success without the "protection" you think NCAs are.

How did all those poor vulnerable companies thrive given all the horrible risk posed by workers basic rights?
 
Here's a pdf from the GAO with some study references regarding NCAs.

Cliffs: NCAs show mixed results when used for executives. Studies show it reduces job mobility even when not legally enforceable. With stronger NCA enforcement, wages go down. With it's use limited, wages go up.
 
Pretty much every lawsuit against the federal government includes an alleged violation of the APA. Even if a case is lousy on the merits, plaintiffs or, in this case, a corrupt judge, often can find an error in agency procedure.
