    HR Laws Changing: What Small Businesses Should Expect in 2025 - Mission to Grow: A Small Business Guide to Cash, Compliance, and the War for Talent - Episode #126

    In this episode, we dive into the latest updates in employment law and their implications for both business owners and employees in 2025. Our guest, Mary Simmons, explores how these changes will affect HR practices, including immigration enforcement, FLSA changes, the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, I-9 updates, minimum wage increases, and evolving sick leave policies. We discuss the proactive steps business owners must take to stay compliant, such as conducting audits, updating handbooks, and training managers. The conversation also highlights the importance of clear communication and strategic planning in navigating these legal changes and maintaining a competitive edge in the labor market. Takeaways: Be aware of the upcoming HR law changes in 2025. These changes could affect various aspects of your business operations and employee management, including compliance with new legal standards.Be deliberate with your training. While certain areas of HR law, like I-9 compliance, may seem straightforward, they require deliberate attention and proper training to ensure compliance and avoid penaltiesConduct periodic audits, especially of I-9 forms and classification of employees. Ensuring compliance through self-audits can help mitigate the risk of costly fines and legal issues if inspected by government agencies.Be prepared for increased government inspections and audits, especially regarding topics like immigration and I-9 compliance, as enforcement is expected to rise.Regularly update your employee handbook to reflect new laws and policies. This ensures that both you and your employees are aware of their rights and responsibilities, helping to maintain compliance and a clear understanding of workplace rules.Implement open and honest communication with your employees, especially when it comes to changes in policies like minimum wage or paid leave. Keeping employees informed and engaged helps in maintaining a positive workplace culture and can improve retention.Quote of the Show: “Some laws have a threshold of a certain amount of employees that it affects, but it really affects everyone. If your competitors have to offer that new benefit, and you're not offering it, you're not going to be able to win that talent." - Mary SimmonsLinks: LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/marysimmonshrconsultant/ Company Website: https://www.asuresoftware.com/ Navigating Accommodations Under the PWFA: Insights for Employers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx9UGDdLc9g&list=PLn0y0cxOWrJi97JI1u1aMHSK9ySSXaEQ8&index=8 Ways to Tune In: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2XThTdn7YC1lkAm0PgZUkj  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mission-to-grow-a-small-business-guide-to-cash-compliance-and-the-war-for-talent/id1725890976 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/328dddd0-3c4f-4b07-a0d3-13bdcb418486/mission-to-grow-a-small-business-guide-to-cash-compliance-and-the-war-for-talent?refMarker=null Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/Mission-to-Grow-A-Small-Business-Guide-to-Cash-Compliance-and-the-War-for-Talent-Podcast/B0CS71KQFM?qid=1706208857&sr=1-1&ref_pageloadid=not_applicable&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1&pf_rd_p=83218cca-c308-412f-bfcf-90198b687a2f&pf_rd_r=A1ME8MBECSVZ6K4D7CNT&pageLoadId=QBtg12mqKsuZPLGY&creativeId=0d6f6720-f41c-457e-a42b-8c8dceb62f2c Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/mission-to-grow-a-small-busine-5591006 Transistor: https://missiontogrow.asuresoftware.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AsureSoftware

    Earned Wage Access: What Every Small Business Owner Needs to Know - Mission to Grow: A Small Business Guide to Cash, Compliance, and the War for Talent - Episode #125

    How can employers leverage the benefits of offering earned wage access to not only enhance recruitment and retention but also to significantly improve employee productivity and engagement? In this episode, we delve into the transformative shift from traditional payday loans to on-demand pay models. We explore how digital advancements have led to new, cost-effective solutions that empower employees to access their earned wages without stigma or significant fees. This shift is facilitated by innovative banking models leveraging merchant fees to create a seamless and free experience for employees. We also discuss the profound benefits for employers, such as improved recruitment, retention, and productivity, driven by offering financial wellness tools. Takeaways: Evolution from Payday Loans to Digital Earned Wage Access: Employees once reliant on high-interest payday loans now benefit from digital earned wage access with low fees and reduced friction.Merchant-Funded Access: The innovative model relies on merchant fees from debit card transactions, allowing services to be offered at no cost to both employees and employers.Employer-Centric Benefits: Companies that offer earned wage access see stronger recruitment appeal and improved retention, as employees value immediate access to their earnings.Financial Well-Being and Productivity: Enhanced financial wellness reduces stress, giving employees more focus at work and improving overall productivity.Reduced Absenteeism: Access to earned wages helps employees manage unexpected expenses promptly, leading to fewer absences.Increased Employee Engagement: When financial worries are minimized, employees show greater involvement and commitment to their work.Support for Lower-Income Workers: This model particularly benefits those in lower-income brackets who are most affected by financial instability.Quote of the Show: "I think the key thing with earned wage access versus historical products that were paycheck advances or payday loans is the lending is done only against wages that are earned, not against the paycheck overall." - Shirish LalLinks: Website: https://gritfinancial.org/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shirishlal/Ways to Tune In: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2XThTdn7YC1lkAm0PgZUkj  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mission-to-grow-a-small-business-guide-to-cash-compliance-and-the-war-for-talent/id1725890976 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/328dddd0-3c4f-4b07-a0d3-13bdcb418486/mission-to-grow-a-small-business-guide-to-cash-compliance-and-the-war-for-talent?refMarker=null Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/Mission-to-Grow-A-Small-Business-Guide-to-Cash-Compliance-and-the-War-for-Talent-Podcast/B0CS71KQFM?qid=1706208857&sr=1-1&ref_pageloadid=not_applicable&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1&pf_rd_p=83218cca-c308-412f-bfcf-90198b687a2f&pf_rd_r=A1ME8MBECSVZ6K4D7CNT&pageLoadId=QBtg12mqKsuZPLGY&creativeId=0d6f6720-f41c-457e-a42b-8c8dceb62f2c Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/mission-to-grow-a-small-busine-5591006 Transistor: https://missiontogrow.asuresoftware.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AsureSoftware

    Garnishment: What Every Small Business Owner Needs to Know to Protect Themselves - Mission to Grow: A Small Business Guide to Cash, Compliance, and the War for Talent - Episode #124

    In this episode, we dive into the complexities surrounding garnishments in the workplace, including the differences between wage garnishments and wage assignments, how employers should handle multiple garnishments and the legal implications of terminating an employee due to garnishment. Our guest Brian Shenker shares expert advice on how to navigate these situations while ensuring compliance with federal and state laws. Takeaways: Employers must follow the garnishment order carefully to avoid legal consequences, including paying off an employee's judgment if done incorrectly.Federal and state laws: Employers need to be aware of both federal guidelines and state-specific laws, which can vary.Garnishment calculation:Maximum garnishment: The CCPA caps garnishments at the lesser of 25% of disposable income or the amount by which weekly disposable income exceeds 30 times the federal minimum wage.Disposable income: Defined as earnings after legally required deductions (like taxes, Social Security), not after voluntary deductions like health insurance or retirement contributions.Garnishments are not allowed for employees with disposable earnings of $217 or less per week.For earnings above that threshold, only a portion (25%) of the disposable income is subject to garnishment.Commissions and bonuses: These also fall under the garnishment rules. Commission-based employees are subject to garnishment just like salaried workers, but their earnings can vary, making the calculation more complex.Fringe benefits: Generally, fringe benefits like free daycare are not considered part of the garnishable income.Independent contractors: The CCPA typically applies to employees, but some states extend garnishment protections to independent contractors as well. Employers should not ignore garnishment orders for independent contractors, even if state laws vary on this issue.Quote of the Show: “What the CCPA wants to do is make sure that not too much is being taken out from a debtor's paycheck each week, because that then just results in more financial issues and more strains.” - Brian ShenkerLinks: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-shenker-53708712/ Company Website: http://www.jacksonlewis.com Ways to Tune In: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2XThTdn7YC1lkAm0PgZUkj  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mission-to-grow-a-small-business-guide-to-cash-compliance-and-the-war-for-talent/id1725890976 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/328dddd0-3c4f-4b07-a0d3-13bdcb418486/mission-to-grow-a-small-business-guide-to-cash-compliance-and-the-war-for-talent?refMarker=null Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/Mission-to-Grow-A-Small-Business-Guide-to-Cash-Compliance-and-the-War-for-Talent-Podcast/B0CS71KQFM?qid=1706208857&sr=1-1&ref_pageloadid=not_applicable&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1&pf_rd_p=83218cca-c308-412f-bfcf-90198b687a2f&pf_rd_r=A1ME8MBECSVZ6K4D7CNT&pageLoadId=QBtg12mqKsuZPLGY&creativeId=0d6f6720-f41c-457e-a42b-8c8dceb62f2c Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/mission-to-grow-a-small-busine-5591006 Transistor: https://missiontogrow.asuresoftware.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AsureSoftware
