Yesterday, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas issued a major ruling against the FTC’s noncompete ban. Judge Ada Brown found that the FTC lacked the authority to enforce this rule, declaring it "arbitrary and capricious." As a result, the rule, which would have gone into effect on September 4, has been blocked nationwide. What should employers and employees do next? Employers can halt compliance efforts, while employees need to understand how state laws impact their noncompete agreements. The FTC is likely to appeal, so stay tuned for updates.

The Supreme Court of the United States recently issued a ruling that makes it much easier for employees to challenge perceived workplace discrimination with respect to the terms, conditions or privileges of employment (working conditions) under Title VII. Besides prohibiting discrimination with respect to hiring, firing, promotions and compensation, Title VII prohibits an employer from discriminating against an individual with respect to his working conditions because of the person’s race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Prior to this decision most federal appellate courts considering the issue required an employee to show that a discriminatory employment decision involving working conditions caused the employee a materially significant or adverse disadvantage, such as a demotion, cut in pay or loss of benefits.
