Federal youth-employment rules could be heading toward a significant update.

The Department of Labor is considering changes to the rules governing how long and how late 14- and 15-year-olds may work. The initiative comes amid broader debate over youth employment standards and the balance between workplace opportunities, education, health, and safety.

For employers, the key takeaway is to watch both federal and state developments closely, since state protections may impose additional requirements beyond federal law.

The U.S. Department of Labor is reconsidering federal work-hour restrictions for 14- and 15-year-olds under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Current rules limit how many hours young teens may work during school weeks and restrict how late they can remain on the job. The DOL’s regulatory agenda signals a proposal concerning those permissible work hours, though the specific changes have not yet been announced.

Employers that hire minors should continue following existing federal and applicable state requirements while monitoring future rulemaking.

More New Jersey employees may now have access to protected family leave.

The state’s expanded law lowers the employer threshold from 30 employees to 15 and reduces the eligibility requirement to at least 250 hours worked during the previous three months.

It also provides additional job protections for employees receiving temporary disability insurance and allows eligible workers to choose the order in which they use certain leave benefits.

And importantly, employers cannot retaliate against employees for taking legally protected leave.

New Jersey has expanded family leave protections for workers across the state.

Under the new law, employers with as few as 15 employees may now be covered, and employees can qualify after working at least 250 hours over the previous three months.

The law also adds job-restoration protections for employees receiving temporary disability insurance benefits and gives eligible workers more flexibility in choosing the order in which they use certain leave benefits.

For employees taking maternity, bonding, caregiving, or disability-related leave, these changes could provide significantly broader protections.

AI hiring tools promise efficiency, but efficiency does not necessarily mean fairness.

A lawsuit involving Workday alleges that algorithmic screening systems may reproduce or amplify discriminatory patterns in employer and workforce data, potentially affecting who gets recommended and who gets screened out.

The case is moving forward on most of its discrimination claims and may offer an early look at how courts approach bias involving AI-assisted hiring.

Employers using these tools should pay close attention to how automated systems are evaluating candidates, not just how much time they save.

Automation may make hiring faster, but it does not make discrimination laws disappear.

As more employers rely on AI to evaluate applicants, questions about how these systems are designed, tested, and monitored are becoming increasingly important.

AI is becoming a bigger part of hiring, but so are the legal questions around how these tools make decisions.

In Mobley v. Workday Inc., plaintiffs allege that Workday’s AI-powered applicant-screening tools discriminated on the basis of age, race, and disability.

Most of the discrimination claims were allowed to move forward in June 2026, putting greater attention on how algorithmic hiring systems may reproduce or amplify bias.

For employers, the case is an important reminder that using AI in recruiting does not eliminate potential discrimination risk.

Moving investor disclosures online could make them faster and easier to access, but it could also change how investors interact with important financial information.

The SEC’s proposed Regulation E-Delivery would make electronic delivery the default for many securities disclosures.

The tradeoff? Investors may be less likely to open or act on electronic materials, which could affect everything from proxy voting to shareholder participation.

The proposal also raises privacy, cybersecurity, and phishing concerns, especially when financial communications arrive through email.

For investors, the issue is not just how disclosures are delivered. It is whether the information still gets noticed.
