Report Link Healthcare Update: hShort-Shift Differential Shortchanges Employees, Court Rules.Fisher & Phillips, LLP - May 06, 2008 Many healthcare employers adopt shift differentials to encourage staffing on unpopular shifts.

Employers are encouraged to devise creative, lawful solutions to staff all shifts and ensure all tasks attendant to patient care are performed. Report Link Paying to Educate Your Employees.Fisher & Phillips, LLP - May 05, 2008 Are you missing an opportunity to increase your employees' basic academic abilities without having to pay overtime premium for the time they spend learning?

Report Link Legislation Proposed to Eliminate Employment Taxes on Employer-Provided Cell Phones.Littler Mendelson, P.C. - May 05, 2008 The use of cell phones is a fact of life today. Many employees are provided cell phones or BlackBerries (or similar devices) by their employers, and, until recently, very few employers gave much thought to doing so. That is starting to change, however, thanks to the Internal Revenue Service. Recently, the IRS has begun to include the issue of personal use of company-provided cell phones in its audits.

Report Link Employer Mandated Wellness Initiatives: The Continuum from Voluntary to Mandatory Plans.Littler Mendelson, P.C. - May 01, 2008 A year after Littler first examined how far an employer can go toward mandating wellness in the workplace, this 2008 Littler Report examines where we are a year later. As the leading source of medical insurance, employer-sponsored group insurance covers approximately 158 million nonelderly people in the United States. Although the cost of healthcare insurance has moderated, the percentage of employers offering health insurance continues to decline. Threatened by various federal, state and local initiatives to require employers to provide health insurance coverage and paid sick leaves, and leery of expecting any comprehensive reform, no matter what the outcome of the 2008 election, employers are now examining what can be done to assure a healthier workforce. Report Link SOX Applied to Employee Working Overseas.Jackson Lewis LLP - May 01, 2008 As the contingent of globally-mobile employees increases, the issue of whether American law, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, applies to American employees while working overseas is receiving greater attention by the courts. Report Link More States Enact Data Security/Breach Notification Legislation.Jackson Lewis LLP - April 29, 2008 Breaches of personal data continue to affect millions of individuals in the United States and internationally. To help protect their residents, state legislatures in the U.S. continue to pass laws aimed at protecting this data and requiring certain holders of data to provide notification in the case of a breach. While bills continue to be mulled in states such as Missouri, Alabama and Iowa, this article discusses briefly some recent developments in states that have enacted or are likely to enact data security legislation. As repositories for information subject to these laws, employers need to be aware of new mandates and be prepared to deal with the new notification requirements should a breach occur. Report Link Unmasking Illegal On-Line Activity.Shaw Valenza LLP - April 24, 2008 Most employers now have some web presence, through their own internet sites and also as an internet portal for employees who use the internet at work. Used illegally to spread defamatory statements or publish trade secrets, the internet has to potential to do significant damage to a business. Employers need to consider two related subjects: how to respond if defamatory or privacy-protected information about the organization is released on-line; and how to manage their own internet resources to avoid liability. Report Link The Talent Hunt: Getting the People You Need, When You Need Them.Knowledge@Wharton (Reg Required) - April 22, 2008 Ask any CEO or senior level executive what his or her biggest challenge is, and the answer is almost always finding and keeping good people.

In a book titled, Talent on Demand: Managing Talent in an Age of Uncertainty, Peter Cappelli, director of Wharton's Center for Human Resources, proposes a new approach to this issue based on applying the principles of supply chain management to people.
