By BOBBY CAINA CALVAN, Associated Press Published: January 7, 2023, 5:09pm NEW YORK — A yearslong saga that ensnared the publishing world culminated in a New York courtroom Friday when a con artist pleaded guilty to a plot that defrauded scores of authors by duping them into handing over hundreds of unpublished manuscripts. Filippo Bernardini, an Italian citizen who had been working in publishing in London, pleaded guilty to a single count of wire fraud in connection with a phishing scheme that baffled the book world for years. The announcement was made by the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, Damian Williams, who said Bernardini is set to be sentenced April 5 before before U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon. “Filippo Bernardini used his insider knowledge of the publishing industry to create a scheme that stole precious works from authors and menaced the publishing industry,” Williams said in a statement. Authorities say Bernardini, 30, used email accounts to impersonate literary agents and editors to con authors out of their manuscripts. “Through impersonation and phishing schemes, Bernardini was able to obtain more than a thousand manuscripts fraudulently,” Williams said. Bernardini, who hasn’t publicly explained his motives, faces a maximum

California recently enacted a landmark pay transparency law that requires employers to disclose pay ranges in job postings, joining a growing number of states and municipalities that impose such requirements aimed at improving pay equity. But beyond the pay scale requirements, Senate Bill (SB) 1162, signed in September 2022 by Governor Gavin Newsom, further broke new ground in expanding pay data reporting processes and requirements for California employers, and thus increasing employers’ compliance burden. Beginning in 2023 for the 2022 reporting year, SB 1162 requires employers to report new demographic and pay data, and imposes new reporting obligations regarding contractor workers. Below is an overview of some of the important reporting obligations for employers under the new law. Reporting Obligations The law requires employers with one hundred or more employees to submit annual pay data reports to the California Civil Rights Department (CRD), which was formerly known as the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH). The reports must provide “ithin each job category, for each combination of race, ethnicity, and sex, the median and mean hourly rate.” This is a major change as it will force employers to provide direct comparison of pay rates between different race/ethnicity and gender

LinkedIn profile “The power of visibility can never be underestimated.” – Margaret Cho (American comedian) Welcome to 2023! I hope this is the year you find an employer where you feel accepted and at home. A job seeker’s best compass is to prioritize finding where they belong. Think: “I’m not looking for a job; I’m looking for my tribe!” Imagine how much more efficient (NOTE: I didn’t say “easier”) your job search would be for employers to contact you about their open positions – asking if you would like to join their tribe. (During the hiring process, you can determine whether you are a good fit for the employer and whether you feel welcome.) Your LinkedIn profile plays a vital role in achieving this aforementioned efficiency. It is well known that a well-thought-out, complete LinkedIn profile attracts attention. Truth: Visibility is essential for success. Ask yourself: “Am I missing out on opportunities because I am not visible enough?” Chances are the answer is “Yes”. Here’s how to boost your LinkedIn profile to generate job opportunities. Upgrade your profile picture. Fair or unfair, your profile picture is the first impression of you. So make something beautiful out of it! Upload your
