- Marketing
Patrick Rogan of Ignition HR joins Chip to discuss the FTC’s new ruling on non-compete agreements and expected adjustments to overtime pay regulations.
They discuss strategies for managing overtime and compensation issues in small agencies, highlighting the importance of compliance, proactive planning, and seeking HR assistance when necessary.
Key takeaways
* Chip Griffin: “It’s important to plan in both cases as if these regulations will take effect because it’s a lot easier to back off on whatever plans you might have than it is to scramble at the last second to figure out what your solution might be.”
* Patrick Rogan: “The strength of a good non-solicitation is it sets an expectation for future behaviors. When you make it clear that this is against the rules – you can’t take our clients, you can’t hire employees when you leave – it just prevents it from happening.”
* Chip Griffin: “Ultimately, agencies need to treat their employees well, they need to treat them fairly, so that they’re not inclined to go out and try to screw them over by stealing clients or employees.”
* Patrick Rogan: “Make sure you have consistency with salaries and if you make it consistent with the hardest regulation out there, that usually works out to be easier for everyone in the long run.”
