Overview:
Many Employers do not realize that the changes in their state
regulations have an impact on state specific and multi-state locations and
especially with remote employees. Now more than ever Employers, Leaders, HR
professionals, and Managers need to be prepared for the changes that impact
employees and communicate changes to employees. Training is the best method to
keep track of workplace changes and how to create an effective risk management
strategy. At this time over 35 states have workplace changes. It is critical to
be informed since ignorance is no excuse for non-compliance.
Labor research has proven that Employers have a delay in
implementing new regulations and adding it to Employee Handbooks or stand-alone
policies. Moreover, new regulations go hand in hand with employee handbook and
standalone policies updates. As a compliance officer, I am always providing
support to Employers and professionals and see what the gaps are when
protecting employees. Federal, State, and local regulations have an impact in
maintaining workplace compliance and Employers need to be aware that when
Federal, State and Local regulations clash the regulations with the most
benefit for the employees supersedes. That is why it is important to be aware
and follow all workplace regulations.
More changes in regulations were passed in July 2020 and more expected
in 2021 in different states and Employers must ensure they are ready to
accommodate the regulations that have changed in those states.
