New Form I-9 Released

The U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS) released the new version of the Form I-9 on January 31, 2020. The previous version expired in August, but employers were advised to continue using this version until the new form was released. All employers must begin using the new form by May 1, 2020.  While the paper version of the form did not change, the electronic version saw minor updates. A list of the changes can be found here .

HRDR Corner – Is Direct Deposit Putting You at Risk?

"It's my money and I need it now!" Perhaps you recognize this phrase from a popular television commercial.

Harassment Prevention Training – Registration is Open!

Governor Brown expanded the harassment prevention training requirement to employers with five or more employees effective in 2019. These employers are now required to provide training to all employees. An extension has been granted by Governor Newsom, giving employers until January 1, 2021. Our next manager/supervisor session will be held on March 18. Click here to register.  Our next non-supervisory session will be held on April 29.

OSHA 300A Form Posting Requirements

Most employers are required to post the OSHA Form 300A from February 1 – April 30 every year. Employers that are classified with a low-hazard Standard Industrial Classification code or have 10 or fewer employees are exempt from posting. If there were no recordable incidences in the previous year, the summary form must still be posted with zeros. The form should be posted in an area frequented by employees, usually close to the compliance postings.
