January always means new employment laws and this year has been no exception. In addition to new state laws on the books, federal agencies have been stepping up enforcement of existing laws. Increased enforcement can have a bigger impact on employers than new laws. While you are updating your policies and training to reflect new laws, be sure you are complying with existing laws. Just as you have an annual physical, employers should consider annual audits of their policies and practices.
Brody and Associates regularly advises management on complying and remaining up to date with state and federal employment laws. If we can be of assistance in this area, please contact us at info@brodyandassociates.com or 203.965.0560.
