Many New York employers think offering a lunch break is optional—or assume federal rules cover everything. Wrong on both counts. New York break laws impose specific, mandatory meal periods that vary by industry, shift timing, and worker classification. Miss these requirements, and you’re looking at wage claims, overtime penalties, and potential Department of Labor investigations.
This guide outlines what’s required under New York Labor Law §162, how state and federal break laws differ, and what recent updates—like paid lactation breaks—mean for employers operating in New York State.
Modern HR’s Blueprint to Stronger Policy, Culture, and Compliance Note for HR pros: This is the most comprehensive employee handbook resource you’ll find, complete with templates, best practices, and insights from Mosey’s experts. We’ve covered nearly every possible angle, knowing what might seem like a minor best practice or insight today could very well be exactly what saves you tomorrow.
Now, do we expect you to read this cover-to-cover in one sitting? Absolutely not. But we did structure this guide to build on itself, with each section connecting to the next to reveal how employment policies, compliance, and culture all work together.
Your employee handbook is more than just a collection of company rules. It’s the foundation for how your business operates, covering everything from legally required policies to your own cultural standards. But simply handing it out isn’t enough. To make your handbook enforceable as well as protect your company and employees, you need proof that every team member has received and reviewed it. That’s where the employee handbook acknowledgment comes in.
Holiday pay can be a cornerstone of workplace satisfaction and competitive hiring. If you’re running a business or managing a team, you already know the stakes — morale, retention, and compliance. A holiday pay policy can be a successful HR strategy.
At its core, holiday pay is straightforward. It means compensating employees on recognized holidays, whether they’re clocking in or taking the workday off. It may sound simple, but it isn’t. Without a clear company policy, misunderstandings can arise, morale can plummet, and the potential for compliance risks looms large.
Talented and effective HR professionals are the secret ingredient to organizational success. HR professionals can utilize tools like competency models to maximize success and efficiency.
A competency model serves as a blueprint for identifying, developing, and assessing the skills and behaviors necessary for individuals to excel in their roles within an organization. A little bit of work on a competency model can boast a huge payoff in productivity and human resource planning.
Many Florida employers assume family leave rules are straightforward. Federal FMLA standards cover most situations, right? Unfortunately, it’s not quite straightforward as that. Understanding FMLA Florida law means knowing both federal requirements as well as the limited state protections that apply to specific circumstances.
In this guide, we’re breaking down how the Family and Medical Leave Act applies in Florida, outlining additional state requirements employers should know, and showing how the right tools can simplify compliance across every location where your team operates.
HR leaders want to drive strategy, not just check boxes. But when entire days are consumed by registrations, filings, and policy updates, strategic HR work gets pushed aside. In many organizations, human resources teams aren’t short on ideas—they’re short on hours.
That constant cycle of manual compliance tasks comes with a steep opportunity cost. The time and focus lost to paperwork and state-by-state complexity keeps HR reactive instead of strategic. Today, we’re exploring how automation helps HR teams escape the compliance grind, reclaim time, and redirect their energy toward the work that drives long-term growth.
Fines aren’t the only cost of falling behind on multi-state compliance. The real drain comes from the hidden fees, wasted time, and inefficient processes that pile up when HR and finance teams are stretched too thin to keep every state requirement current. Whether it’s a missed registration renewal, a late payroll tax filing, or an outdated employee handbook, small compliance gaps can snowball into major expenses.
Illinois workers’ compensation hits different than other states. While many jurisdictions offer exemptions for small businesses, Illinois requires coverage for employers with just one employee, whether they’re part-time or full-time. Miss this requirement, and you’re facing $500 daily fines with a $10,000 minimum penalty.
Just as importantly, the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission (IWCC) takes enforcement very seriously. Corporate officers face personal liability, potential criminal charges, and work-stop orders that can shut down operations entirely. Therefore, understanding the workers’ comp system’s complexities and building bulletproof compliance strategies protects both your business and your bottom line.
