  • In the US the clawback itself is no longer legal if it is part of a severance agreement. They can’t take the money back if you talk about them

    FYI

    As is often the case, when a presidential administration changes, so may a prior rule issued by the National Labor Relation Boards (NLRB or the Board). On February 21, 2023, the Board returned to its pre-Trump administration rule: broad confidentiality and non-disparagement terms in severance agreements will be deemed unlawful if they tend to interfere with, restrain, or coerce an employee’s ability to speak about the severance agreement or otherwise communicate with other employees about their former employer. The prior Trump-era rulings allowed employers to include confidentiality and non-disparagement clauses in severance agreements, but the NLRB’s latest ruling in McLaren Macomb reverts to the old rule placing employers in an uncertain situation with their current and future severance agreements.




  • Nobody seems to get this. Each time minimum wage goes up, employers balance that by splitting jobs over more people and make getting full time harder. They don’t have to provide benefits and they get more clout about how many jobs they create. It’s all upside for them.

    Real work reform would be providing benefits to everyone. If people get benefits directly from the government, then they get more negotiating power with their employers because moving between jobs is lower risk when you aren’t losing benefits as part of that.

    But pulling levers to raise wages is easier than redesigning the way we provide health, dental, vision, life, and retirement to our citizens so that’s what keeps happening and things just get more expensive in lock step.
