Are Domestic Partner Benefits Mandatory?
A Brief History: Only What You Need to Know The roots of domestic partner benefits stretch way back to 1982, when the City of San Francisco enacted legislation to offer health insurance coverage to the same or opposite sex partners of its unmarried employees. “Domestic partner” soon became the official legal term used by insurers and private and public employers. Also, in 1982, New York City newspaper The Village Voice became the first private employer to offer domestic partner health care benefits. Many other companies and municipalities followed suit. Fast forward to more than 30 years later when, in 2015, the United States Supreme Court ruled that domestic partner benefits apply to both same-sex and unmarried opposite-sex couples....
Managing Contractor Payroll: What You’ll Need to Know
As a business owner, it’s a given that you’re expected to pay your employees accurately and on time. But something almost as important is making sure you don’t pay your contract or freelance workers the same way you pay employees. Let’s clarify. Independent contractors are not classified as employees by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), so instead of being paid through your payroll system, they’re paid separately as a business expense. When your business requires hiring both employees and independent contractors, it’s important that you understand the distinctions between the two. Why? Three letters: IRS. FLSA – How to Classify Employees and Independent Contractors The IRS looks at the business relationship your company has with a...

Get ExpertiseWhat Compliance Means for Your Organization
Do you spend too much or too little time on compliance? The IRS estimates U.S. businesses spend a collective 2.8 billion hours a year on tax compliance alone. Add in the Department of Labor’s requirements for overtime and minimum wage as well as the Affordable Care Act’s tracking and reporting regulations and you’ve only just scratched the surface of compliance.
Naturally, being compliant is going to mean something different depending on the industry in which you work. Are you a medical facility who can’t allow licensing to lapse or perhaps a manufacturer with concerns about Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) law? What sort of training do you have in place to prevent employment discrimination and a subsequent EEOC lawsuit?
The right HR partner can offer your organization expert advice on how to mitigate compliance risk. Learn what potential violations should be on your radar and how to avoid them as well as how to maintain compliance through the employee lifecycle.
