LIVE ONLINE TRAINING COURSE

Most HR and Benefits professionals would likely agree that when it comes to managing sick leave situations, it’s easier said than done. There seem to be obstacles every step of the way from establishing reduced work schedules, requesting physician certifications, and getting second opinions to recordkeeping, deciding whether to use the calendar year method or rolling twelve-month method for calculating the amount of leave available and all the steps in-between.  

Legislation such as the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act  and the newly-enacted American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) represent significant challenges for HR and benefits professionals, and one that, if not done correctly, invites employee abuse and potential legal liability for employers.

Provisions of the Family & Medical Leave Act and the Families First Corona Virus Response Act (FFCRA)

Provisions of the Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act (EPSLA) and the Emergency Family and Medical Leave Expansion Act (EFMLEA) under FFCRA

Changes to the Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation program (PEUC), the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance Plan (PUA) and the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation Act (FPUC)

Payroll Deduction – Mandatory Taxes, Courtesy Taxes and much more

"Payroll Deduction - Which Taxes are Mandatory, Which are a Courtesy"

In payroll we calculate the gross wages of an employee by meticulously following strict regulations on what must be or must not be counted as hours worked and taxable income. We pay the employee their net paycheck only by the payment method that is permitted.

Of course everyone knows that payroll deducts for federal and state taxes. However, how much input does the employee have concerning these deductions? This will be answered in this webinar. Which taxes are mandatory, if the IRS or the state wants payroll to collect for back taxes; how is that processed? What does payroll do if a “payday loan” deduction is received as opposed to a creditor garnishment? Which ones must we honor and why. We will discuss this during this webinar.

In this webinar expert speaker Vicki M. Lambert, will be answered which taxes are mandatory, which are a courtesy and which ones the employee controls will be explained during this webinar. If the IRS or the state wants payroll to collect for back taxes; how is that processed?

Session Highlights:

Taxes—which are mandatory, which are a courtesy, and which ones the employee controls

Tax levies—federal and state

Creditor garnishments—how many can you honor and how often

Voluntary wage assignments for “payday loans”—when are they required to be honored

Handling fringe benefits such as health insurance or group term life

Uniforms—when the employer pays for it and when the employee furnishes it

Meals—when they become part of the employee’s wages

Shortages—the employee came up short so they have to cover that right?

Breakage—you broke it so you have to pay for it, legal or not

Overpayments—the employee was overpaid so you can just take the money back or can you?

Advanced vacation pay—the employee knows the vacation hours were advanced so we can take them back when the employee quits can’t we?

Loans to employees: what terms can be set while the employee is still active and what can be taken when the employee terminates

Employee purchases—active employees and terminated employees

Why You Should Attend:

In this webinar, Speaker will discuss what can and what cannot be deducted from an employee’s regular paycheck as well as their final one. Failure to follow the regulations pertaining to employee wage deductions can result in substantial penalties and interest. How to process voluntary and involuntary health insurance deductions. You will come to know about deductions on basis of uniforms and meals/lodging, etc.

FMLA Step by Step Compliance

Although the Family Medical leave Act (FMLA)was enacted 18 years (1993) ago the workplace still has problems complying with its requirements. Sometimes that required compliance is ignored because either the employer or the employee is not aware of their obligations, rights, or both. This webinar is designed to make that compliance easier to understand regardless of if it is a first line supervisor, manager or leave/benefits administrator or the employee.

Why Should You Attend

It’s been said that “ignorance of the law is no excuse” and that “What you don’t know can hurt you.” This was never truer than with the FMLA. That’s because it is unlawful for an employer to interfere with, restrain, or deny the exercise of or the attempt to exercise any rights provided by FMLA. It is also unlawful for an employer to discharge or discriminate against any individual for opposing any practice, or because of involvement in any proceeding related to FMLA. So, all the more reason to become as knowledgeable as possible regarding one’s FMLA compliance obligations to avoid any legal complications. Do all first line supervisors, managers, or other staff including the employees know what to do when an FMLA issue comes up? Have they been given a road map that clearly gives them the step-by-step guidance they need to steer their way to compliance? This webinar is designed to fill such gaps so all can navigate these tricky compliance waters.

Areas Covered in the Session Participants will have an increased understanding of and be better able to assist in the areas of

» Identifying covered employers » General notice requirements » Employee’s obligation to provide notice. » Employee eligibility » Rights and responsibilities notice. » Qualifying reasons for FMLA leave. » The certification processes. » Military Family Leave » Employer’s designation notice » Rules for scheduling and taking FMLA leave. » Calculating FMLA leave » Substitution of paid leave » Maintenance of benefits » Restoration of employee/Right to Return to Work » Record keeping requirements. » Interaction with other Federal and State Laws and Employee Policies.

Who Will Benefit » All level managers, supervisors, and executives. All Levels of both in-house and outside counsel. All levels of Union representation and officers (stewards, Business Representatives, Business Managers, Presidents, and all officers/ board members). All levels of Human Resources and especially benefits and leaves areas/administrators.

The Complexity and Interplay Among ADAAA, FMLA, and Worker's Comp (WC) - How Do They Work Together, or Not?

Challenges - It's confusing, isn't it? How are we supposed to keep it all straight when there are times when the legal requirements of both Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the American Disabilities Act Amendment Act (ADAAA) are similar, yet at other times one law contradicts another? We find that we can't comply with both laws at the same time, so which one takes precedence over the other. And where does WC come in? To complicate matters even more, WC is a state law, while FMLA and ADAAA are federal laws, and there are other state civil rights laws that also impact FMLA and the ADAAA. Consider that an injury under WC may also be a "serious health condition" under FMLA. State laws may differ from federal laws by covering additional health conditions, may apply to small organizations, or may cover situations in which the federal laws have no say such as domestic abuse. As HR, we have the responsibility of sifting through these laws to ensure that we comply with each law that provides the best benefit to our employees. These laws provide entitlements to our employees which means they are not considered an optional benefit. So, even if you fail to apply the law to your employee, they can claim protection anyway. For example, if you fail to provide appropriate leave under FMLA, that does not remove the employees right to job-protected leave. The ultimate goal of all three laws is to assist the employee to return to work.

Webinar: How to Handle Workers Compensation Claims

The interaction of the FMLA, ADA and Workers Compensation laws is known by many employers as the “Bermuda Triangle”. It can also be akin to a “Tsunami” ready to happen. It is crucial that employers ensure compliance with these laws as a violation can result in significant damages such as wages, back pay, reinstatement, retroactive benefits, compensatory damages and punitive damages. The best way to handle Workers Compensation Claims laws is to know when each law is implicated and exactly what each one requires.

The Impact of New FSVP & Third Party Accreditation Rules on Your Food Business

The wait for final FSMA Rules is quickly ending and the implementation periods have begun. On November 10, 2015 the FDA published the final rules for the Foreign Supplier Verification (FSVP) and Third Party Accreditation programs and is now preparing guidance documents that extend the requirements previously published under the final rules for cGMP, Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Human and Animal Food. Most businesses have less than one year for full implement compliance implementation. 

Since the final FSVP and 3rd Party Accreditation rules rely heavily on new rules for HARPC, Environmental Monitoring, Validation and Validation of Preventive Controls. In this webinar expert speaker John Ryan will review earlier final rules and he summarize the final FSVP and 3rd Party Accreditation rules. It is critical to begin to understand how the FDA has interwoven the FSMA  into more of a compact and focused set of rules than proposed rules might have led us to believe. 

The FDA FSMA rules are based on the ideas that risk can be reduced through preventive approaches not widely understood or followed in the food industry. Regardless of your ability to understand these new rules, the implementation period has begun. The waiting period is over. Session Highlights: Understand how the new rules will impact your business Learn how to improve control over suppliers Review basic rule requirements Prepare your business to comply with changing food safety and quality standards and audits Find out who is exempted Evaluate Food Risk and Supplier Performance Subpart G – Supply-Chain Program Validation of Preventive Controls Environmental Monitoring Requirements Hazard Analysis Review Requirements for Accreditation and Certification Bodies Begin to bring your internal food safety systems up to date Understand FSVP and 3rd Party Accreditation reporting requirements so you can protect your company. Know about conflict of interest between your company and 3rd Party Bodies Why You Should Attend: The implications of these newly published FSMA rules go far beyond what their titles imply. Based on FDA recommendations, we are presenting this critical session so that domestic and food importers and exporters can begin to protect themselves. More importantly, the Third Party Accreditation Rules need to be understood by all food industry personnel because earlier established food safety standards and audits will be changing to accommodate the new rules. Who Should Attend: Food producers, shippers, carriers and processors Food Safety Certified Auditors Food company CEOs, VP and Director Level Personnel Internal Food Safety and Quality Team Members Food Testing labs and Quality Personnel cGMP Specialists Operations personnel Ask your question directly from our expert during the Q&A session following the live event.
