We are following other Labor and Employment Law Blogs on the Web and will bring to your attention some other articles worth reading. Here are some other articles we think are worth a look:

- “Employees attending alcohol counseling not entitled to pay for time spent in treatment” (discussion of NYPD case under the FLSA holding that time spent in alcohol counseling sessions, even though a requirement of keeping the job, are not compensable under the FLSA).
