Stay ahead of HR compliance issues by understanding current compliance requirements and trending topics.
For human resources professionals and business owners, compliance with employment laws is a necessary component of the job. It is essential to understand what is new in the world of compliance and know what the trending topics are for the future. States are more actively passing laws that impact employers and employees, and they are often contradictory to other states and the federal government. Areas like state-paid leave laws, pay equity, marijuana, sexual harassment training, and wage and hour are all important items this year. Even if your state doesn’t currently have laws in these areas, more and more states are considering these items, and you need to be prepared to address these challenges. This material will inform you about all these topics and more so that you are prepared for what the future might bring to your company. By understanding current compliance requirements and trending topics, you can be ahead of the issues when they are presented to your workplace and already have a plan in place to meet those requirements. Having an overview of the issues and related action items to address the issues will help you better prepare your organization for this year and beyond.
