FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

California (April 11, 2016) – There have been some new developments in employment law that are changing the way both employees and employers behave in the workplace environment. These developments are critical for all to understand and will impact the way we all work and perform on a daily basis. Joe Fogel, a leading authority on employment law, has some insight into what is happening and what can be done to adapt to these new developments.

There have been some significant data and information breaches recently that have not only brought significant attention to how businesses protect sensitive data but also how corporations are dealing with their individual employees. With recent emergences of class action suits and their successes, the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) has been paying close attention to how companies are obtaining this data, how it is secured, how it used and what is or is not acceptable when it comes to using the information obtained.

As a consequence, both employees and employers have to change the way they monitor employee behavior at work as well as the actual tasks themselves. With that new attention comes the responsibility of the employees and the corporations themselves as to what information can be shared via phone, email or physical mail correspondence. In other words, what was acceptable yesterday is not necessarily acceptable today as it relates to how companies are communicating with both employees and customers.

Companies with more lax requirements on how they obtain customer data and what they do with it are now forced to be more stringent and diligent about verifying customer information and ensuring it is used in the most effective and secure way possible. What all this means to both employees and employers is that there is a lot of work that needs to be done around changing internal processes and behaviors in order to comply with these new regulations. Failing to do so properly could result in legal consequences.

Joe Fogel and his associates specialize in employment law and have been in business for over twelve years serving both employees and employers.
