State Alerts

As you may be aware from previous ADP Resource communications, toolkits and webcasts, effective December 1, 2016, changes to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) regulations will dramatically impact many employers.  We are working diligently to provide support to our clients in order to help ensure their compliance.  

As part of our continuing commitment to help you prepare for the new Fair Labor Standards Act regulations which will impact nearly all employers, we are presenting a complimentary webcast.

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.

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.

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.  

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

Section 6106 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) now requires long term care facilities to electronically submit direct care staffing information based on payroll and other auditable data. To streamline this effort, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have developed a new system for facilities to submit their staffing and census information called the Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ). Employers must report total direct care hours worked (including agency and contract staff), employee hire and termination dates and facility census data. Click here to learn more. Please contact your HR Business Partner to learn more about support available with ADP Resource.

We are pleased to announce that our Navigator OT application (in addition to OT Cost Estimator) has been updated to conform to the final Fair Labor Standards Act Regulations (the regulations are effective December 1, 2016).  Please review the details below for more information.   ​
