ComplianceHR Updates

Littler’s 13th Annual Employer Survey is now available. With insights from nearly 350 in-house lawyers, business executives, and human resources professionals, this report provides a look at topics employers are currently facing or anticipating facing throughout the upcoming year.

We are continually striving to enhance our solutions to help you simplify the complexities of employment law. A little while ago, we received feedback from our clients regarding the frontloading information available in the Paid Sick Leave Report in the Reference Center. After carefully reviewing this feedback, we collaborated with Littler’s paid sick leave subject matter experts to revamp the existing question “Can employers comply with the law by frontloading paid sick time?” 

The discussion now specifically focuses on answering the question “Can employers avoid carryover by frontloading?” If a statute or rule expressly allows the practice of pro-rata frontloading for mid-year hires or part-time employees, this information is also included in the discussion.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at support@compliancehr.com. 

We are excited to announce the release of our new Reference Center report: Documentation at the End of Employment.

We are very excited to share that ComplianceHR has been fully acquired by Littler, the world’s largest employment and labor law firm. As a valued client, we wanted to share this information with you before it becomes public next week.

As a longtime Littler joint venture, we have leveraged exclusive data, knowledge, and information to provide you with solutions that simplify the complexity of employment law. Deepening our partnership with Littler allows us to not only deliver additional employment and labor law topics and information, but it also enables us to continue to improve and expand our solution offerings.

Over the next 12-18 months, we will be making helpful improvements and time-saving updates to our solutions’ speed, design, user interface, and overall user experience. Some specifics that you can look forward to include:

• Reference Center: Improving options for finding answers, filtering, and sorting
• PolicySmart: Moving to a policy-centered design and stepping away from static templates
• Navigator OT: Improving record views and adding flexible workflows for sending questionnaires
• Navigator IC: Improving the look and feel to better align with Navigator OT
• Document Center: Implementing a faster, more intuitive user experience and moving away from the current “wizard” design
• The Entire Navigator Suite: Unifying the navigation across all solutions and simplifying the permission structure

We will continue to communicate changes to the solutions with you as they are being developed. Please feel free to reach out to us at support@compliancehr.com with any questions.

We are excited to announce that the Documentation at the Time of Hire Report is now available on the Reference Center! This is the first of two Documentation reports we will be releasing this spring. Keep an eye out for the Documentation at the End of Employment Report over the next few weeks.

It is not uncommon to struggle to comply with federal regulations issued by the Department of Labor (DOL), National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Now, as there are court cases reviewing the recent removal of leaders at these agencies and a fight over agency independence going on, you may be wondering what this means for employment law. To help answer some of these questions, we invite you to attend the webinar “How Will the Fight Over Agency Independence Affect Labor and Employment Law?”

We are excited to announce the release of a new topic in the Reference Center: New Hire Reporting. This topic includes federal new hire reporting requirements, which are the minimum requirements that state new hire reporting laws must satisfy, in addition to state requirements. It is designed to answer the following questions:

You must be careful, though, to keep the hiring process lawful and discrimination-free. Fortunately, there are a number of resources available to help you stay compliant during the hiring process:

UPDATE: This webinar is available here.

Many state and local jurisdictions have begun to implement pay transparency policies. This can pose compliance challenges for employers, but we are here to help. On Tuesday, March 25, we will be hosting a webinar with Littler titled “Coast-to-Coast Pay Transparency Laws.”
