subject: The Pros and Cons of Alternative Working Arrangements and Regulatory Requirements in Implementing Such Programs [print this page] The Pros and Cons of Alternative Working Arrangements and Regulatory Requirements in Implementing Such Programs
Why Should You Attend:
Many employees are now requesting alternative working arrangements either to be more accessible to their children, to care for a sick parent since our country is getting older, or due to the employee's own health that may make working in the office more difficult.
Such arrangements sound good and can work if implemented properly. Sometimes the law may require such arrangements (FMLA, ADA). Some laws may make it more difficult (OSHA, workers' compensation). How do you handle these thorny issues if you must/want to offer these programs? What are the legal ramifications of such arrangements?
Attend this webinar to learn about the pros and cons of alternative working arrangements and the regulatory requirements in implementing such programs.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) may fundamentally change the American healthcare and health insurance industries. It is critical that small and mid-size employers understand how health reform provisions will affect employer-sponsored health insurance coverage. While most federal and state enabling regulations have yet to be written, this web seminar will share the most up-to-date information available. Attend this webinar to understand the employer notification requirements to employees in PPACA and the employer reporting requirements to federal agencies in PPACA.
