HR Regulatory Compliance Training - Live Webinars, Recordings & CDs

Preparation is mandatory for success, especially at the bargaining table. This first of three segments covers both the big and little things that, with a bit of preparation, can make for a smoother and more successful experience.

In the state of California, employers often struggle with abuse and fraud of protected leaves of absence as those granted by the Family & Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), and the Pregnancy Disability Leave Act (PDL). Employers feel uncertain how they can avoid complex leave of absence issues while protecting their own financial and business needs. The overlap between these pieces of legislation is often confusing and seemingly complicated. All three pieces of legislation provide ways in which an employer can identify an employee’s need for leave while vigilantly remaining alert to potential leave abuse.

If an employer has exhausted all the necessary steps to help the employee improve his or her work performance – and those steps are not working – it may be time to terminate the employee. Terminating an employee is not only stressful for the employee losing a job, but also for the employer. There are legal, ethical steps to take when you terminate an employee. The company must ensure its actions are above reproach. How the company terminates an employee sends a powerful message not only to the terminated employee, but also to remaining staff, either positive or negative.

This labor law extended wage and benefit protections to approximately one million California workers and extends employee classification status to gig workers. This law puts tough restrictions on who can be classified as independent contractors or freelancers rather than employees. This webinar will assist participants in making those decisions and thereby avoid the consequences of non-compliance.

Given that every complaint has the potential to become a lawsuit, employers should investigate every case in a manner in which it can be presented to a court of law, if necessary. As potentially disruptive as investigations can be, they must be prompt, thorough and effective to ensure all parties’ protection.

Penalties for late filing or filing incorrect W-2 Forms are on the rise. In addition, penalties for incorrect information on Form 941 can also be costly.

Employers would do well to heed these new laws and take appropriate steps to ensure compliance.

Documentation is the “fulcrum” of good employee relations. Lack of solid documentation is the single most common mistake employers make when handling discipline or terminations. Lack of or improper documentation impacts a myriad of HR issues; unemployment compensation disputes, workers’ compensation cases, and legal matters. Good records, on the other hand, can mean the difference between winning and losing a lawsuit. This webinar will examine not only what to document but how to document and, just as importantly, how to avoid issues with performance and behavior.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress provided new employment tax credits and other tax relief, and Form 941 and related employment tax returns went through several major revisions to accommodate the changes. Going into the first quarter of 2022, the forms used by employers to report employment taxes continue to evolve to reflect the changes in the reporting requirements.

This webinar will help to clarify the legal obligations under the different laws but, more importantly, help to explain how they interact with each other, or in some cases, don’t interact at all.

In this informative webinar, you will learn how to properly account for and report expense reimbursements and facilities provided to employees in compliance with IRS requirements. Discussion includes work from home expense reimbursement.

Employers are seeing more mental health issues in their workforce than ever before. Long COVID has enhanced mental health concerns even more. Each year 1 in 5 adults is stricken with a mental illness (National Institute of Mental health), making mental illness an everyday reality for many of your employees. Yet only 1 in 3 people seek help with their illness. The ADA, HIPPA, FMLA and most states’ human/civil rights department dictate how employers deal with employees with mental health problems and could charge employers with civil rights liability. Privacy laws create challenges for employers to determine how serious a situation is and whether an employee poses a danger (though those with a mental illness pose no more risk of violence than those without a mental illness). Two thirds of employees would take a pay cut for a job that supports mental health – do you? As a manager, what can you do to better recognize and take care of your employees’ mental health? Seventy percent of employees could do more to support their employees’ mental health according to the Society of Human Rights Management (SHRM, February 15, 2023).
