Spoiler alert: This feature will also be a part of our new Reference Center Reports that are currently in development!

Like previous years, there will be employment law changes taking effect in 2023. Littler’s Insight, “Employment Law Update 2023: New Compliance Obligations for the New Year,” provides a brief look at some of the employment law changes that will occur.

Did you know that the EEOC updated the “Know Your Rights: Workplace Discrimination is Illegal” poster?

Don’t forget to update any electronic copy of the poster your organization may use in addition to the physical copies posted at your work sites.

Last month, we introduced our new Minimum Wage report, which we designed to help make finding and comparing minimum wage information, including info on tip credits, easier for you. Now we are excited to announce our first enhancement to the Minimum Wage report: a more convenient way to view relevant additional information!

As the midterm elections are drawing near, you might have employees asking, “Can I have time off to vote?” Clearly with each state’s varied voting time regulations, the answer is not a simple “yes” or “no.” But don't worry – we have a solution that helps make answering these questions easier for you!

One of the things we enjoy the most at ComplianceHR is helping our customers with their employment law and compliance needs. We love hearing your thoughts on how we can improve our solutions for you, and we get even more excited when we can make those requests become reality! That’s why we want to take a minute to remind you of a recent release that kicked off the first step in our journey down the path of our renewed Product Vision and Roadmap. 

We are excited to announce the release of our new Minimum Wage report! We took our existing minimum wage content, which includes requirements for non-exempt employees and basic information about tip credits, and updated it with a robust new interface.
