ca-labor-law-what-to-be-aware-of-infographic-postAs an employer or HR professional in California, you know that the parade of new CA labor law changes and additions never end. And the task of staying informed and maintaining ongoing compliance are tasks that never end, as well. The truth is that too many businesses overlook or fall behind on the latest labor law requirements. 

Staying On Top of CA Labor Law

One of the factors that makes the chore of staying up-to-date on current and new legislation is the sheer volume of laws, rules and regulations that are churned out regularly. On top of this, for most employers not every law applies to them or their industry. Special rules and legislation for the agricultural industry rarely impact, say, the insurance industry, for example.

On the other hand, there are significant CA labor laws that apply to pretty much every California employer. One of the best solutions for most companies is to outsource some or all of their HR and payroll tasks to firms like Accuchex. The consequences of failing to maintain compliance can be costly and - in some cases -even financially devastating - for smaller businesses. Outsourcing, then, can be viewed as a strategically sound investment in the fiscal health and well-being of a business. Not to mention the peace of mind that comes with having a qualified third party on your HR "team."

Improve Your Own HR Management Practices 

One of the new roles of the HR manager is that of being a bellwether of change. Staying informed and up-to-date not only of regulatory and legislative changes, but of the social and technological shifts that spell opportunity for a business.

In addition to a growing and demanding role in recruiting, hiring, and continually training employees, the HR staff will still be responsible for every other function they are typically tasked with such as payroll management, tax filings, employee records compliance, and so forth.

Considering alternatives such as outsourcing is increasingly becoming a cost-effective and strategic option. Accuchex can help you in managing your HR needs, payroll processes, and staying on top of compliance demands. Get your Free Download: Payroll Outsourcing Guide to help you make an informed decision or call Accuchex Payroll Management Services at 877-422-2824.
