As mentioned a few weeks ago, we have a busy summer with the release of new Reference Center reports planned.

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.

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).

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.
