Learn How to Employ Enterprise Workforce Management Solutions to Eliminate Compliance Risk

BURLINGTON, Mass. February 10 - Failing to comply with labor-related legislation these days can cost companies millions of dollars in penalties and fines. Examples abound of companies named in class-action lawsuits related to violations of federal or state wage and employment laws.

According to a recent Radford survey, the greatest Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) compliance challenges reported by companies include interpreting regulations; understanding differences between state and federal requirements; and employee and/or manager communication about FLSA reform.

To help human resource professionals better understand how to eliminate compliance risks, the International Association for Human Resource Information Management (IHRIM), is hosting a webinar in March to share how Enterprise Workforce Management solutions - in the form of automated Time and Attendance, Leave Management, Attendance Management, Scheduling and Employee/Manager Self-Service - can insulate companies against non-compliance risks and costly litigation. Labor-related legislation including Sarbanes-Oxley, Fair Labor Standards Act, and state and local wage and labor laws will be discussed as well.

Specifically, attendees will learn:

What is Enterprise Workforce Management?
Enterprise Workforce Management and compliance
Costs of non-compliance
Causes of non-compliance
Addressing compliance through Enterprise Workforce Management
Best practices in maintaining compliance
