Summer is here! Memorial Day is just a few days away, and Independence Day is not far behind. Since holidays and vacations are top of mind, we wanted to take a few moments to remind you that we have information and resources on these topics available for you.
We love getting to know and help our clients, and we are always looking for opportunities to share employment law information, hot topics, and updates with you. Last week we really enjoyed seeing some of you at Littler’s annual Executive Employer conference. This week we want to share three of Littler’s recent reports we think you might find interesting.
If you are interested in insights on new opportunities and laying the foundation for the workforce of the future while mitigating risks, check out “The Littler Annual Employer Survey 2023.” This survey shows trends in the hybrid work model and anticipated increases in disability accommodations, especially for mental health conditions.
If, like many others, you are interested in the role generative AI, such as ChatGPT, is and will be playing in the workforce, check out the report found in “An Overview of the Employment Law Issues Posed by Generative AI in the Workplace.” This report addresses concerns and the multifaceted and complex impact of generative AI in labor and employment.
If you’re interested in Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) developments that happened during fiscal year 2022, check out the “Annual Report on EEOC Developments – Fiscal Year 2022.” In addition to case law and litigation statistics, this report includes key developments and anticipated trends.
You can check out additional updates from Littler on their News & Analysis page. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at support@compliancehr.com.
If you log into your ComplianceHR platform and notice your access to Pay Practices is missing - don’t panic! The resources that used to be found under Pay Practices are now available in the Reference Center!
Why did we make this change? As part of our product roadmap, we are updating the topics available in the Reference Center with our new report design. Having all of the topics moved to the Reference Center is a step in this transition. Plus, it means you only have to visit one link to find the reference content you’re looking for!
If you’re interested in the features and functionality that will be added as we update the content in the Reference Center, check out the reports that have already have the new design: Minimum Wage, Paid Sick Leave, and Posters. This list will continue to grow, so keep an eye out for updates!
If you would like more information about the Reference Center, check out our Live Open Office Hours. Feel free to contact us at support@compliancehr.com with any questions.
We are always aiming to make our solutions more efficient for our clients, and we are excited to announce our newest update to help with this! Navigator IC now provides the option to create multiple independent contractor evaluations at once! This new functionality allows you to use a CSV file to create up to 50 evaluations at one time and have the associated company and contractor questionnaires created and sent with a single file upload.
Overtime is and always will be a popular topic. Not only do you have to weigh the risks of classifying an employee as exempt or non-exempt, but there are so many other details to consider, such as handbook policies about timecards, meal and rest break regulations, and employee bonuses and gifts, just to name a few. In response to questions prompted by our recent webinar “Overtime - What Employers Need to Know Today,” we worked with Littler to put together “What Employers Need to Know About Overtime: Top 12 Q&A’s.” We also wanted to provide a quick visual on some of the resources we provide to help you efficiently navigate the topic of overtime.
We are excited to announce the release of our new Posters report! The new Posters report gives you the same functionality available on the ComplianceHR Reference Center Minimum Wage and Paid Sick Leave reports, including content smart links and options to select multiple jurisdictions and create side-by-side comparisons.
Do you have company locations around the world, work with clients across the globe, or are just curious about current events in international employment law? If so, be sure to keep an eye on our partner Littler’s News & Analysis.
To mark the third anniversary of COVID-19 compliance challenges last month, Littler provided a helpful summary of recently expired and soon to be expired regulations in their article “What COVID-19 Leave Is Left?” To help you stay compliant, paid sick leave is just one of the many topics included in the ComplianceHR Reference Center, which also includes information on:
As we discussed a couple of months ago in our blog “Coming Soon: IC and OT Regulatory Changes,” we are getting ready for the anticipated final rule on Employee/Independent Contractor Classification. As soon as the final rule is available, we will be working with Littler to determine the changes that will need to be made to Navigator IC and execute the updates as quickly as possible. You may be wondering if there is anything you can do now in preparation for the updates, so we wanted to give you a few things to consider while we wait to see what happens with the final rule.
Spring officially arrived this week, and that means it’s time for spring cleaning! In all the hustle and bustle of sprucing everything up and making updates, don’t forget that your employee handbook may also be in need of some attention. If you don’t currently have an employee handbook, there are many reasons to consider implementing one this season. Here are two PolicySmartTM features you can use to get your handbook cleanup underway.
PolicySmart News allows you to see a timeline of when new regulations are going into effect, and now is a good time to review what will be happening over the next few months. Don’t forget that you can add effective dates that are relevant to your jurisdiction and company to your calendar directly from PolicySmart.
