Colorado’s Promoting Opportunities and Workers’ Rights (POWR) Act introduces significant changes to the state’s anti-discrimination laws, impacting how employers manage workplace fairness and employee rights. POWR takes progressive steps to promote workplace equality.
Here’s what HR professionals need to know about implementing the POWR Act and how Mosey can help with business compliance.
What Is Colorado’s POWR Act? The POWR Act expands federal protections against discrimination and harassment in the workplace. POWR runs concurrently with all federally required anti-discrimination laws, taking them several steps further to address common concerns and build a balanced workforce for all people.
In today’s dynamic business environment, one of the critical aspects founders, HR heads, and financial officers need to stay on top of is federal tax classification. This classification not only determines how your business will operate, but also how it will be taxed.
As businesses expand and take on employees from different states or even countries, understanding this classification becomes paramount to ensure compliance. With the landscape of remote work growing, businesses, especially those operating in the U.S., must stay informed to maintain efficiency and ensure they’re meeting all regulatory requirements.
The recent $100,000 H-1B fee announcement sent shockwaves across corporate America. By the next day, companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Goldman Sachs were already scrambling to send travel advisories for H-1B employees, while HR teams nationwide tried to decipher what this meant for their workforce.
Today, we’re decoding what all of this means for your business to identify what HR and finance leaders need to know right now. Of course, every company is different, so you’ll always want to consult with legal counsel before making any decisions. However, our goal is to present an idea of what the road ahead might look like for you, helping you prepare for a potentially bumpy hiring road ahead. Let’s begin.
