ComplianceHR Updates

As December is flying by, we’ve been working to make sure our solutions are ready to go for the new year. You will see updates throughout the ComplianceHR Reference Center that display future effective information, along with policy updates to be aware of in PolicySmart^TM. Navigator OT and Navigator IC will be updated a little closer to the new year, so you can continue running up-to-date risk analyses.

Can you recognize myths surrounding classification of workers as independent contractors? Over the past few months, we published a series of blog posts on ComplainceHR.com that focused on our whitepaper “Independent Contractor Myths vs. Reality” to help you better understand this complex topic.

We would like to wish you a happy Thanksgiving! We hope it is the start of a great holiday season for you and yours!

Even though it may be hard to believe, 2024 is right around the corner. As you begin to prepare for the new year, we invite you to register to attend the webinar “What to Expect in 2024: A Highlight Reel” on December 12. This webinar, with presenters from Littler Mendelson and ComplianceHR, will include information on:

The copied evaluation is saved within Navigator OT, instead of Navigator OT Legacy, and generates the updated risk report upon completion.

Here are a few ways the copy feature in Navigator OT Legacy can be used:

With a little over two months to go before 2024, it’s hard to believe how quickly the end of the year is approaching! You may be wondering if there’s anything you can start doing to help prepare for all of the tasks the end of the year brings. One thing you can do is to think about your company’s employee handbook policies and updating procedures and develop an action plan to get your handbook where it should be for 2024. Check out the questions and resources below.

A few months ago, we introduced you to Littler’s Global Guide Quarterly. Now the newest version of the Global Guide for Quarter 3 has been released. If you have interest in global labor and employment law news, be sure to check it out. Countries with updates include:

In addition to sharing updates about our solutions and specific updates in employment law, we also enjoy sharing other work-related insights we find interesting with you. A few weeks ago, Littler published their 2023 AI in the Workplace Survey Report. We thought you might find this interesting since AI in the workplace continues to be a hot topic. This report contains the insights of nearly 400 in-house counsel regarding AI in the workplace, including:

Based on feedback, we recently partnered with Littler to present a webinar to help providers understand the risks associated with contingent workers. In addition to providing a walkthrough of our Navigator IC solution, which is designed to assess independent contractor roles for associated risks and provide risk assessments, this webinar, “From the Provider Perspective: Updates on Contingent Workforce Laws,” discusses:
