So far in the first three months of 2009 we have seen major legislative changes to the HR landscape.  The amount of change in employment regulations has reached an unprecedented level and passage of many more employment regulations is imminent.

Regulation changes already enacted that affect many aspects of your employment policies and procedures include the following:

  • Amendments to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
  • New Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) – Currently applies if you have 50 + employees.  Legislation has been proposed which may soon apply to employers with 25 employees or more
  • The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act
  • The American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (“Stimulus” Bill)
    • Changes to COBRA Continuation of Benefits
  • New I-9 Form for Verification of Identity & Right to Work in the U.S.

With good reason, as an employer you may be feeling overwhelmed, inundated with information, confused and concerned.
