HOUSTON, Texas. In the U.S., it is up to each state to determine whether it will provide paid or unpaid leave to victims of domestic violence. In Texas, employers are not required to provide paid or unpaid leave to domestic violence victims. The lack of paid or unpaid leave for domestic violence victims can be another barrier that prevents victims from leaving an abusive situation. According to the Atlantic, as many as 60% of domestic violence victims lose their jobs. [Read more…] about Texas Doesn’t Provide Paid Leave for Domestic Violence Victims: How This Hurts Women
When Harassment in Government and Law Remains Legal
HOUSTON, Texas. In the wake of the “Me Too” movement, more women have been coming forward about their experiences with sexual harassment on the job. Yet, when it comes to fighting certain types of harassment in the courtroom and in government, the laws still have a long way to go. Take the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995. Under this law, members of Congress can use taxpayer money to settle claims with their accusers. The House recently passed a law that would require members of Congress to settle claims with their own money, and the Senate passed similar legislation, but the New York Times reports that lawmakers would only be required to use their own money to pay compensatory damages. Taxpayer money can still be used to compensate victims for other damages. [Read more…] about When Harassment in Government and Law Remains Legal
Uber Faces Investigation for Hiring and Pay Violations
HOUSTON, Texas. The New York Times reports that Uber is under investigation by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission as a result of allegations of pay and hiring disparities between its male and female workers.

Employment Law Reaches the Music Industry
HOUSTON, Texas. The New York Times recently reported that the leading flutist for the Boston Symphony Orchestra has sued the orchestra for gender discrimination. The leading flutist claims that she is only paid 75% of what another man in the orchestra gets paid. Under Massachusetts law, women must be paid equally for performing equal work. For women who seek pay equity, proving that their jobs have equal demands can be among the more challenging aspects of seeking pay equity, or suing for back pay. Yet, the woman’s case seems to be strong. In addition to being paid less than a male flutist in the orchestra, she is also paid less than the orchestra’s principal trumpet, viola, timpani, and French horn players. All of the players who are paid more are men. [Read more…] about Employment Law Reaches the Music Industry
The Next Frontier of the Non-Compete Clause: Fast Food
HOUSTON, Texas. The New York Times reports that the attorney generals of 10 states are reviewing some fast food restaurant “no poach” clauses. These clauses have a similar effect that non-compete clauses have in that they prevent workers from moving to other jobs. Unlike non-compete clauses however, “no poach” clauses limit worker’s movement within the fast food chain itself. So, while the worker could get a job at another brand, they couldn’t move to another branch of the brand in their neighborhood to work closer to home or to seek higher wages.

The Link Between Low Wages, Mental Health, and Suicide
HOUSTON, Texas. The media calls them “deaths of despair.” Where wages are low and opportunities are few, poorer communities see more opioid overdoses and suicides. Yet, is it really as simple as a problem of low wages and few jobs? Do low wages lead to poorer mental health outcomes? Do poorer mental health outcomes increase a person’s risk of suicide, depression, and drug addiction? [Read more…] about The Link Between Low Wages, Mental Health, and Suicide
When High-Profile Women Fail, Do All Women Suffer?
HOUSTON, Texas. Women face unique challenges in the workplace and when trying to secure funding for their start-ups. They may not be perceived as credible as men. They are not paid as much as men. And they are punished for acting assertively. Don’t believe it? According to Glamour, 33 percent of polled Americans believed that women lie about sexual harassment. Another 45 percent considered it a “minor” issue. Women are doubted. They are not always believed. This is despite the fact that reports indicate that fewer than ten percent of all sexual harassment claims are false, and the number might be as low as 2 percent.

Harassment in the Field: 64% of Women May Suffer Harassment
HOUSTON, Texas. Sexual harassment in an office can be a traumatic experience for victims who suffer from it. While it can be frightening and challenging to report sexual harassment to human resource departments, many offices have human resources personnel on staff who can offer some support to victims. However, what happens when victims suffer sexual harassment in the field where there isn’t support or help? How do victims seek justice? In many cases, they just don’t.

How Employment Lawyers Can Help Fight the Gender Pay Gap
HOUSTON, Texas. According to CNBC, under the gender pay gap, the average woman makes 80 cents for every dollar a man makes. Yet, a recent report indicates that the gender pay gap can vary greatly depending on where you live. In states like Wyoming and Utah, men are paid double what women make. This largely due to the male-dominated energy sector in these states. Another factor leading to a greater pay gap has to do with bias in certain industries. For example, certain industries have a greater pay gap than others.

Salary History Questions and the Gender Pay Gap
HOUSTON, Texas. According to Reuters a U.S. court recently ruled that a person’s historical wage could not be used by a company as justification for paying female workers lower than male workers. In the case of Rizo v Fresno County Office of Education, the Office of Education was trying to justify paying a woman less than her male co-workers because the woman’s past salary had been lower. The woman learned that she was being paid less than male co-workers who had less training and experience than she had. Before the Equal Pay Act was passed, barring employers from engaging in pay discrimination, women may have been paid lower wages than men. By using a woman’s historical salary to justify lower pay, some workplaces may have been grandfathering in pay discrimination. Women who have historically been paid lower may continue to be paid lower wages, which can lead to entrenchment of pay discrimination despite new laws barring discrimination.

Common Employment Law Violations in Startups
HOUSTON, Texas. Not all employers intentionally violate labor laws. While some may cut corners in labor laws to protect their bottom lines, other companies may simply be ignorant to labor laws and may violate them unintentionally. New companies are especially at risk of making these mistakes. If you are planning on working for a startup or new business, it can be helpful to know your rights so that you can inform your employer and prevent violations. In the case of startups, informing your employer not only benefits you, but it protects your employer who could potentially face tens of thousands of dollars in fees and back pay in the future. When everyone follows the law, everyone is protected.

How Wage Violations Impact the Poorest Families
HOUSTON, Texas. According to a report presented to the Department of Labor, wage violations have a major impact on America’s poorest families. In New York, the report identified 188,000 weekly violations, representing $10.2 million dollars in lost wages, or 47.5% of a worker’s wages. For a family living at the poverty line, this is the difference between food security, access to health care, and paid rent.

Senate Drags its Feet on Sexual Harassment Legislation and What This Means For Workplace Sexual Harassment
HOUSTON, Texas. Sexual harassment legislation passed in the House, but similar legislation remains to be passed in the Senate. Why? The Atlantic reports that Mitch McConnell, the Senate Majority Leader, was unhappy with a part of the legislation that would have required Senators to be financially liable for harassment and discrimination settlements. Apparently, Senate members can use tax money to settle sexual harassment claims, a situation that women (and men) on both sides of the party aisle find unacceptable.
Have You Unwittingly Given Up Your Sexual Harassment Civil Rights?
HOUSTON, Texas. Many employers require workers to sign arbitration clauses when they get hired. Signing these clauses is often required in order for the worker to get employed. According to USA Today, as many as 56% of American workers are bound by arbitration clauses. This means that as many as 60 million American workers may not be able to take their employers to court if sexual harassment occurs or if the company fails to handle a harassment issue in a proper or timely manner.

Women-Owned Businesses May Be Paving the Way for Best Practices When it Comes to Sexual Harassment
HOUSTON, Texas. For years, women have been reporting harassment only to be ignored by human resources and their managers (and many more have not been reporting harassment they have suffered due to the fear that they would be ignored or would be retaliated against). Unfortunately, all too often, the focus is on men when these claims come to light. The media (and other men) worry about the men’s careers and empires, once again silencing women and their stories. Yet, women-owned businesses may be changing this narrative. These businesses may offer real guidelines for best practices that other businesses can follow.
All 22 Female Senators Ask for Vote on Sexual Harassment
HOUSTON, Texas. Sexual harassment in the workplace is a serious issue. According to a 2016 Equal Employment Opportunity Commission report, 25% to 85% of women report that they have faced harassment on the job. Many women may not be reporting harassment on the job out of fear or due to push back from their employers. In 2003, a study found that 75% of women who spoke out about their harassment faced retaliation. While the law offers protections for individuals who face retaliation, not all workers may be aware of their rights. Retaliation isn’t the only concern. Some human resources departments—and even Capitol Hill—may place onerous burdens on those who choose to bravely speak out.

Startup Makes It Easier for Companies and Campuses to Track Sexual Harassment
HOUSTON, Texas. One of the problems with enforcing sexual harassment policies is the fact that victims are often reluctant to report harassment. There are many reasons why individuals might hesitate before making a report. They may feel ashamed of the situation, they may worry about how reporting the harassment will impact their career, or they may fear the perpetrator. Victims may fear backlash if the person perpetrating the crimes is a manager or leader in the company.

Wage Violations in Restaurants
HOUSTON, Texas. More states are considering changing the laws about how tipped workers are paid. According to the Department of Labor, seven states currently require employers to pay tipped workers the state minimum wage. These states are: Alaska, California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Nevada, and Minnesota. The New York Times reports that New York may soon join their ranks.
Wage Violations: Are You Getting Paid the Minimum Wage
HOUSTON, Texas. The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. However, some states have raised their minimum wage requirements to keep up with inflation. According to the United States Department of Labor, the minimum wage in Texas is $7.25 per hour. Yet, regardless of what the minimum wage is in your state, Politico reports that workers sometimes struggle to receive the back pay they are entitled to receive, even when the government finds that the employer violated wage laws.

More Unpaid Overtime Cases Won in Houston
HOUSTON, Texas. According to ABC 13, twenty-four employees at a Mexican restaurant in Houston will receive approximately $100,000 in unpaid overtime. According to the complaint, the restaurant owned several branches in the city. When workers worked at different branches, the employees’ overtime was not counted. Essentially, the company shuttled the workers between locations in the hope that they could evade federal wage laws. The tactic didn’t work. Employees are entitled to receive overtime pay regardless of which branch they work.

Trump Wants to Undo Tip-Pooling Legislation
HOUSTON, Texas. Currently, if you are a server at a restaurant, your employer is not legally permitted to take your tips. Doing so is a wage violation and is a form of wage theft. However, Trump’s Department of Labor has proposed changing these laws. According to the Washington Post, the U.S. Department of Labor has proposed that employers would soon have the right to make decisions about who gets the tips patrons leave for the front of the house. While some claim that this could potentially balance out the wage gap between cooks and servers, others worry that restaurant owners could now legally keep the tips themselves, essentially denying both servers and cooks money.

Should Sexual Harassment Settlements Be Confidential?
HOUSTON, Texas. The confidentiality of some sexual harassment settlements has left some wondering whether they harm or protect individuals who have been harassed in the workplace. According to the Nation, many sexual harassment settlements come with confidentiality clauses. In many cases, larger companies or universities are willing to make confidential settlements with employees in order to avoid the bad publicity that goes along with a sexual harassment court case. Sometimes a private settlement can lead to a faster resolution. Many claims, in fact, are resolved in this manner before a case even goes to court. Court cases are public and are likely to draw the attention of the media. With a confidential settlement, the bad press is avoided.

What is Sexual Harassment?

Is a co-worker asking you out on a date harassment? Is a crude remark harassment?
Looking Credible May Be As Important As Being Credible
HOUSTON, Texas. What does it take to be believed? One woman writing for the New York Times, recently wrote about the arduous process of fighting her sexual harasser—who happened to be a professor. What does it take to fight back? Lawyers. Meetings with former co-workers, meetings with former co-workers in which former co-workers fail to defend you. Your emails may be read. Your former love life may be put on the stand. Women who fight sexual harassment may not only need an employment law attorney, they may need a public relations team. For women who work for smaller companies, smaller industries, or those who don’t have the money to pay for a whole legal team, sexual assault and harassment can be damaging personally and for their career. It may be years before women choose to fight back. And when they do, they may not be believed or they may be asked why they didn’t speak up sooner.

You Reported Sexual Harassment—What to Do When HR Doesn’t Help
HOUSTON, Texas. If you are facing sexual harassment in the workplace, it is important to report it as soon as possible. If we were living in a perfect world, women who reported sexual harassment to human resources would be heard and protected. Unfortunately, many women who report sexual harassment face a long road to justice. According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, anywhere between 87 and 94 percent of people don’t report sexual harassment. According to Bustle, many people don’t report harassment because they fear reprisal, retaliation, and stress. The New York Times recently released a series of videos that highlight the serious costs women pay when they report sexual harassment on the job. For the women who worked at Uber, she had to change teams and eventually left the company. HR gave her the option of staying on the team led by her harasser (where she was told she might face a bad review) or the option of leaving the team. The situation highlights how easy sexual harassment on the job can lead to lost opportunities. For a woman who worked for Bill O’Reilly, she reached a private settlement, but has never worked in television since. When sexual harassment comes from the top (executives, managers, bosses), individuals can face lost jobs, lost opportunities, or retaliation. When individuals are sexually harassed, they may face tough choices. Report the harassment, or leave the job; or, report the harassment and risk facing backlash from managers and other leaders in the company. These decisions can leave individuals choosing between personal dignity and their careers: a choice no one should ever have to make.

The Long-Term Impact of Sexual Harassment
HOUSTON, Texas. The impact that sexual harassment can have on the careers of women and on the women who surround them is immense. Sexual harassment does more than impact the career of a single woman. If a woman ends up leaving a field or job as a result of sexual harassment, other women lose a role-model or mentor who can help them see possibilities for themselves. The loss of women in major roles means fewer women to promote women and fewer role models for young women and girls.

According to the LA Times, prior to the law, if an individual earned $23,600, he or she would be exempt from receiving time and a half for overtime pay.

HOUSTON, Texas. Time Magazine recently announced its coveted “Person of the Year” cover. The people of the year for 2017 are the silence breakers—those who bravely spoke up about sexual harassment and assault in the workplace. The Hollywood Harvey Weinstein scandal has shed light on the difficulty women face across many industries. After all, not all women have the power, prestige, and access to the media that stars have. Yet, Time notes that if female movie stars couldn’t stop a sexual harasser and assaulter for so many years, how much more difficult must it be for women who work in the food industry or for those who work in other jobs where the chance of reprisal is much higher?

Recent High Profile Cases Give Women a Chance to Have a Dialogue
HOUSTON, Texas. As more women come forward with sexual harassment allegations against men in Hollywood, the media, and in politics, we have seen the beginnings of a national dialogue regarding sexual assault that could change the way human resources handles accusations and the way women’s sexual assault cases are handled in court.

Women in tech have written about “bro cultures” where they could not get ahead or faced hostile work environments. Entrepreneurial women looking to launch start-ups have also written about how they have had to fend off sexual advances from men they hoped would invest in their ventures. Even Diana Nyad, the great swimmer, has written about the long-lasting effects of her coach’s violation.
