You can require workers to get a COVID-19 vaccine, as well as bar them from the workplace if they refuse so long as they do not qualify for legal accommodation.

This California payroll law applies to private employers with 100 or more employees, who must submit a separate pay date report for every worksite, along with one comprehensive report. The FLSA does not require employers to provide workers with paystubs, perhaps one reason so many employers run afoul of California payroll law paystub requirements. Under California Labor Code Section 226(a), employers must not only provide workers with pay statements, but include this very specific information: • Employee’s name, address, and last four digits of his/her Social Security number (or other ID number) For employers in high-turnover industries, California’s demanding final pay rules can create payroll processing challenges.

H. R. Bill 1080, still under review by the House Education and Labor Committee, calls for phasing in overtime pay (i.e., one-and-a-half times the regular payrate) by gradually lowering the overtime hours threshold. When it took effect in 2019, the threshold was set at 9.5 hours per day or 55 hours per week. New York’s Farm Laborers Fair Labor Practices Act (FLFLPA), which took effect January 1, 2020, provides farmworkers with overtime pay after 60 hours in a calendar week. However, the law also allows farm owners to choose up to 20 weeks per year in which the overtime threshold increases to 48 hours—allowing employers to reduce overtime liability at peak planting and harvest times.

According to Forrester’s 2021 predictions, manufacturers will have to double down on technology enabling flexibility, resilience, and innovation in order to emerge successfully in 2021 – especially for those still using labor-intensive HR or workforce management processes. Using a cloud-based time and attendance system gives you the ability to track all relevant data, monitor employee performance, and hold managers accountable for things like altering employees’ time sheets. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, having a Learning Management System (LMS) is a necessary and relevant asset for addressing the ongoing, unprecedented changes and training needs of your employees. Applicant tracking allows you to pre-screen applicants, enhance skills assessments, review resumes/submissions, tag promising applicants, and record feedback on candidates to ensure you’ve got exactly the right talent as soon as you need it.
