Looking back at 2022, it’s hard to imagine we posted about 120 times on Employment Law News… and still didn’t cover everything.
But that’s the nature of employment law these days. The tide of new and updating laws continues to flow, from updated labor law posters to indexed minimum wage rates and new paid leave laws.
Still, it’s worth looking back at some of our more popular blogs from 2022. (And you will see some themes emerge.)
