NLRB Compliance

With the recent overturning of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) standard that afforded flexibility for employer policies and clarifying opinions, it is important for businesses to re-evaluate their policies and procedures. The new standard states that if an employee could reasonably interpret a rule to restrict or prohibit their right to form, join, or assist labor unions, to bargain collectively, to discuss their pay and benefits, and to engage in other concerted activities for mutual aid or protection then that rule is presumed unlawful. 
 
HR policies and procedures are important for businesses because they: 

• Keep the organization in compliance with legislation and can provide protection against employment claims 
  
• Provide guidelines on the employer-employee interactions and expectations  
  
• Provide written guidance on how to handle employment issues  
  

• Provide a framework for consistent and uniform decision-making and transparency 
  
• Support growth and strategy 
  
• Documents appropriate best practices for the organization
