To that end, Joshua has the pleasure of co-leading Seyfarth’s Leaves of Absence Management and Accommodations team. Joshua has helped more than 400 companies navigate the constantly evolving patchwork of federal, state and local paid sick and family leave laws.
Joshua regularly provides advice and counseling to employers on a wide array of Human Resources topics and issues, including policy development and review, day-to-day HR matters, and complying with federal, state, and local employment law. As part of his counseling, Joshua assists employers of varying sizes, including Fortune 500 companies, and operational scope, including in the retail, finance, technology, transportation, telecommunications, health care, pharmaceutical, hospitality, fast food, and restaurant industries.
Joshua strategically and extensively advises employers on leave and absence management, most notably on nationwide compliance with federal, state, and local paid sick and family leave laws. Joshua takes a proactive approach to helping employers keep up with the ever-increasing amount of state and local paid leave regulations, develop and update internal paid leave policies, train managers, human resources, and benefits professionals, and institute best practices based on applicable legal and practical considerations and business objectives. He also has experience representing companies during state and municipal paid sick and family leave investigations and audits.
Joshua guides clients on how to comply with other significant leave, absence management and accommodation laws, including the Family and Medical Leave Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, state vacation time laws, flexible scheduling laws, and many other rules and regulations. Joshua is regarded for his vast knowledge in the leave and accommodation space, regularly speaking, publishing, and being quoted on this topic in terms of national considerations and strategies and state and local developments.
On the litigation side of his practice, Joshua defends clients during paid leave lawsuits and administrative charges, as well as single and multi-plaintiff litigation and wage-and-hour class and collective actions. Notably, Joshua defends management against discrimination, harassment, and retaliation claims under federal, state, and city anti-discrimination laws, wage and hour claims under federal and state laws, and wrongful discharge and breach of contract claims. He also has experience with employment litigation before New York State administrative agencies, and disputes involving collective bargaining and grievance arbitration.
