Compliance Corner

Starting January 1, 2017 clients with 100 or more employees must input hours worked when processing payroll with ADP TotalSource to enable ADP TotalSource to accurately file an EEO-1 report on behalf of the client.

When the new president is sworn in on January 20, 2017, on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, the Oval Office will have a new occupant. There will also be new faces in Congress and some government compliance policies are likely to change. That begs the question – so what does this mean for you and your company?

In preparation for the new FSLA regulations, on October 14, 2016 from 2:00-3:00 pm ET, we will be hosting a client webcast about the new regulations. Other resources such as an updated client toolkit and videos, as well as our Wage and Hour Center of Excellence are also available to you.

The U.S. Department of Labor and the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council have published the final guidance and regulations implementing the Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Executive Order (E.O. 13673).  The Executive Order sets forth procedures requiring federal agency contracting officers to consider an employer’s record of workplace law compliance when awarding contracts and subcontracts valued at more than $500,000. Consistent with this goal, prospective and existing contractors on covered contracts are not only required to disclose administrative determinations, arbitral awards, and civil judgments resulting from violations of any one of 14 enumerated labor laws and their state law equivalents, but they are also required to comply with the Executive Order’s Paycheck Transparency requirements.

As a service to clients, we are pleased to announce upcoming webcasts covering two critical topics for employers: Medical Marijuana and Independent Contractors.  On demand recordings of the webcasts will be made available to all clients (including those unable to attend) after the live webcasts.  

Please be reminded that you can take proactive steps at this time to help ensure that you will be in compliance with the new FLSA regulations come December 1, 2016.

The federal poster is being updated due to mandatory changes to the Minimum Wage/Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Polygraph Protection.
