Labor Law Updates

Many employers are confused about how to handle various employment management issues due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. These five essential considerations will help you remain compliant during the coronavirus and avoid a legal misstep.

While it’s not unusual for small business owners to downplay the importance of labor law posting compliance, this shortsighted thinking could come back to haunt them.

Failure to display complete and current workplace postings can deliver a one-two punch: government fines (which can add up fast) and potential employee lawsuits (which could devastate a small business). Let’s consider how these two very real factors could get you in trouble – and how to better protect your business.

Ashley Kaplan, Esq., who heads the expert legal team behind Poster Guard® Compliance Protection, answers questions about this complicated law.

As we count down the final months of 2016, we continue to keep a close eye on the laws and regulations most likely to impact your workplace labor law postings. The pace of change at the federal, state and local levels has been brisk, and we have every reason to believe it will be just as fast-paced the rest of this year and into next.

The expert legal team from Poster Guard® Compliance Protection hosted a webinar on “Avoiding Immigration Violations” on February 25, 2016. The 1-hour presentation covered fair and legal hiring requirements under the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA), as well as specific guidance on the I-9 employment verification process. Since the webinar first aired, Ashley Kaplan, Esq., has handled numerous questions from participants.
