2009 has brought us an unprecedented level of new laws affecting employers. Each piece of legislation requires action from employers including postings, policies, notification, and employer action. These initiatives include:
- The Fair Pay Act -- effective 1-29-09
- ADA Amendments -- new definitions, procedures & certifications
- FMLA Act -- new definitions, procedures & notifications
- FLSA -- increased enforcement
- HIPPA - more stringent requirements
- COBRA -- notification of premium reduction for eligible employees and former employees who declined coverage
If you are overwhelmed, unsure or unprepared, you are not alone! New Avenues is ready with customized solutions to update your current practices, procedures and notifications, and help protect you from compliance issues. Consider the following:
1. Audit Your Practices
We've done the research & are ready to lead you through the maze of new regulations to create full compliance. Your on-site mini-audit, based on the new legislative initiatives described above, can be scheduled at your convenience. Upon completion, you'll receive:
- Detailed findings & recommended changes
- New policy language, ready to be distributed, as needed
- Updated communications for current and former employees
- Ready-to-go forms to be used with new, current & former employees
- Updated postings for your bulletin boards
- Suggested communication to your leadership team
- Further action items to prevent future issues and/or enhance overall HR effectiveness
A full audit of all HR practices, or addition of specific areas is available as well.
2. Leadership Team Update
Along with your mini-audit, or as a stand alone session, New Avenues can present a fast-moving and easy to understand leadership briefing. We will acquaint your leaders with the changes recommended during the audit and present them with a customized action plan to ensure compliance with the new laws and your company's practice and policies.
This may be an ideal time to do a refresher on EEO & Harassment Prevention issues.
Sessions can be a part of a regularly scheduled meeting, working lunch, or other format to fit your needs.
