Starting January 1, 2024, Ohio rolled out major revisions to the CAT, and if you’re not paying attention, you could miss out on some serious savings or even get caught off guard by unexpected tax bills.

However, the legal terrain of remote employment is complex, especially for businesses with employees scattered across different states. Trying to make sense of federal and state laws can be tough.

The San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance (FCO) was created with the belief that people deserve a second chance. It helps people seeking employment who may otherwise be disregarded for their criminal history. While employers are free to use their own criteria to decide which candidates are fit for an available position, the San Francisco FCO changes how an applicant’s criminal history can be utilized during the recruitment and interview processes.

An increasing number of employers are expanding their workforce across the country (and the world) through remote employees. The wider reach of the workplace is changing the status quo: We communicate differently, company culture is shifting, and labor laws don’t translate the way they used to. Requirements like mandatory labor law posters don’t easily translate to a remote workforce, and businesses have had to change how they inform employees about their rights and responsibilities.
