What's Ahead in HR - And Why Business Owners Should Pay Attention

What’s Ahead in HR — and Why Business Owners Should Pay Attention
with Kelly Rexroad of Krex Consulting
 
HR compliance is not standing still. And for small and mid-sized employers, the cost of missing something can add up quickly.
 
Take Form I-9 paperwork:
The Washington Post reported that I-9 audit notices had increased “tenfold”, with ICE regional offices directed to meet quotas for inspections of employer documentation. That matters because an I-9 audit is not just about whether someone was authorized to work. It can also expose incomplete, inaccurate, missing, or improperly handled paperwork.
And the fines are real.
Federal penalty tables list I-9 paperwork violations at $288 to $2,861 per relevant individual. That means an employer can face penalties even when the underlying problem is paperwork — not an intentional decision to hire someone unauthorized to work.
 
That is just one example of why Chamber members are invited to join us for a free session on what’s ahead in HR.
 
We will talk about HR issues that deserve business-owner attention, including documentation, compliance, MINIMUM WAGE INCREASES, hiring practices, workplace risk, employee communication, and the practical steps employers can take before a small issue becomes an expensive one.
This is not about panic.
It is about preparation.

Bring your questions. Bring your real-world concerns. Leave with a clearer sense of what deserves your attention next.
