ONTARIO, Calif.—Commencing Jan. 1, 2013, all employers conducting consumer background checks on job applicants or employees must issue a revised Summary of Consumer Rights to the affected individuals. To help employers comply with the new requirement, Personnel Concepts has issued a FCRA Compliance Kit.

FCRA refers to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which previously was enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Since this enforcement authority will pass to the newly formed Consumer Financial Protection Board (CFPB), the summary had to be updated to reflect the new reality.

Failure to follow the FCRA in conducting background credit checks can result in fines of up to $2,500 per violation.

“Both the states and federal government are watching consumer credit checks and their use in employment decisions more closely than ever,” said Robert Leland, director of research for Personnel Concepts. “With our FCRA Compliance Kit, employers will be better able to navigate the tricky waters of compliance and keep legal action at bay.”

With the publication today of a new National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) regulation requiring all employers to post a National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) notification for easy access by their employees, Personnel Concepts has moved quickly to publish a text- and size-compliant poster and make it available to businesses everywhere.

The 11-by-17 poster contains the exactly wording that will be used in today's Federal Register-published regulation. The Personnel Concepts research department painstakingly verified the accuracy and compliance of the poster through direct contact with the NLRB.

The poster needs to be displayed by April 31, 2012, when the regulation takes effect. Businesses that fail to display the NLRA Rights Poster are subject to unfair labor practices by the NLRB and its General Counsel.

“Many small businesses, and even some larger ones, don’t realize that the NLRA protects employees’ rights even in non-unionized organizations,” said Robert Leland III, director of research for Personnel Concepts. “The NLRB under the Obama administration has been particularly aggressive in protecting and securing workers’ rights to discuss their employment conditions, even on the social media. The NLRA Rights Poster is a major step taken by the NLRB to protect employee rights. Employers should take heed.”

Personnel Concepts offers a full array of posters and compliance/instructional kits to help employers stay current, so please visit PersonnelConcepts.com or call toll free at 800-333-3795 for further details.

The Department of Labor (DOL) recently refined its child labor standards, and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) in March introduced mandated break times for nursing mothers at work, changes that employers can readily communicate to their workforces with Personnel Concepts’ new All-On-One FLSA Compliance Poster. 

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) of 1938 was the first comprehensive nationwide employment law passed in the United States, introducing the minimum wage and child labor laws into the American economy, among other sea changes. A multitude of refinements and additions have occurred to the FLSA since then, prompting Personnel Concepts to create its new FLSA poster to help employers with their expanded notification requirements.

Labor law and workplace mandates continue to evolve with changing times,” said Robert Leland, director of research for Personnel Concepts. “With our All-On-One FLSA Compliance Poster, Personnel Concepts is moving to provide employers with another one-stop solution to their workforce notification requirements.”

For further information, visit the Personnel Concepts Web page on the new All-On-One FLSA Compliance Poster, or call a compliance specialist at (800) 333-3795.

ONTARIO, Calif.—Changes have been occurring frequently to health care plan administration and benefit notification requirements throughout the 18 months of the Obama Administration, and businesses are obligated to keep their workforces informed, Personnel Concepts advises employers as it launches a service to help remedy the situation.

Though the March 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) will ultimately change the health care landscape dramatically, more recent and noticeable changes already have employers scrambling to stay up to date.

These changes—resulting in new employer notification obligations—have affected HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA), and COBRA (the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 that created post-employment insurance options).

“Change is still in the air, and the COBRA subsidy especially is in flux as Congress gears up for the November elections,” said Robert Leland, director of research for Personnel Concepts. “With our Benefit Plan Compliance Poster Subscription service, employers can rest assured that they’ll receive and be able to disseminate the latest notifications for their workforces.”

The Benefit Plan Compliance Poster Subscription service ships with COBRA, PPACA, HIPAA and CHIPRA notification posters and includes a subscription service that will keep the posters up to date. A subscription to the Benefit Laws Quarterly newsletter comes in the package as well.
