I’m in house (employment law) and handle day-to-day advice, related projects, and pre-litigation/arbitration matters. Once matters proceed to litigation, I no longer oversee them. I currently have 2 EEOC charges and 5 demand letters. It’s challenging handling all of this on top of everything else. Is this workload normal for those of you who also do employment? My company is pretty frugal when it comes to the outside counsel budget, so this is not a viable option for me.

Seems pretty normal, depending on what your other work requires. One thing to consider - not every demand letter requires a written response. I am outside counsel, and at least half the time a client receives a demand letter, I respond by calling OC and working out a resolution. If you are heading to litigation, sometimes a fulsome written response is useful, but often laying out your entire argument and all the facts in response to a demand letter does not do much to resolve or win the case, other than take a lot of time.

I have a governmental entity client in Texas that wants to offer 6 weeks of paid parental leave for all employees, even those who aren’t eligible for FMLA. After the paid 6 weeks, the employee can choose to continue paid leave using any accrued personal leave.

Texas does not have a paid parental leave statute.

If paid leave above what is required is offered for parents, do we also have to provide the same benefit to other employees that are eligible for unpaid leave?
