Three Common Wage and Hour Issues Workers Face
One of the basic tenants of the worker and employer relationship is that employees receive payment for the time they work. While this arrangement is supposed to be straightforward, some employers try to bend the rules or withhold payment to their employees. Because wage theft is one of the most common employment problems that workers face, every employee should be aware of some common ways that businesses withhold wages from workers and the steps you can take to get compensation.
Legislation Updates Every Employer Should Know
Employment laws are constantly changing, and it’s important for employers to stay updated on new legislative requirements so they don’t unknowingly violate them. Under the new Senate Bill 1343 which will take effect January 1, 2021, employers with five or more employees (including temporary or seasonal), must provide at minimum two hours of sexual harassment training to supervisory employees and one hour of sexual harassment training to nonsupervisory employees.
