Attendees will gain a better understanding current sick-leave laws, the complexity of multistate compliance and evolving trends.
With almost 35 states, cities and counties having enacted mandatory paid-sick-leave laws in the U.S., HR’s job has gotten even harder—particularly in companies with multistate employees. HR professionals are increasingly confused about how to remain in compliance with the myriad of rules that are not consistent from one location to the next, while payroll professionals are pulling their hair out to get their systems programmed to handle the often complex accrual and record-keeping requirements. Join us for an interactive and lively discussion about how best to get in compliance in this ever-evolving area of HR.
Learning Objectives:
- Hear a description of current paid-sick-leave laws.
