Fridays with Frank – Sept 20, 2019

Happy Friday! Wow, what a great week. I spent three days in Cleveland, OH, at a conference aptly named I-9 Palooza! That’s right. Three days filled with all things I-9 and E-Verify! Although nothing could match the excitement of I-9 Palooza, this week’s Fridays with Frank is still pretty cool. Did You Just Call Me A Dummy?  No! However, LawLogix …

Fridays with Frank – Sept 13, 2019

Happy Friday the 13th! If you’re like me, you can’t help laughing when you walk into an elevator and notice there’s no button for the 13th floor. (Spoiler Alert!

Fridays with Frank – Aug 23, 2019

Happy Friday! I’m on vacation (or as close as I ever get to actually taking time off) with my family, so this week I’m going to share links to a few of the great articles I’ve been reading. Is a New FLSA Overtime Rule Finally in the Homestretch?  Ok, I didn’t read this first article, I wrote it.  For many …
