The Humans Behind the Emails

March is full of things to celebrate!
Did you know that the first week of March is “Universal Human Beings Week”? How can your organization celebrate the art, history, culture, and community of humanity?
Also, March 4 is “Employee Appreciation Day”. Post a picture of your team with how you are honoring them as humans behind the job here
In commemoration of “Universal Human Beings Week” and “Employee Appreciation Day”, I, Michelle Gray, president of HR Synergy, LLC, highlight the importance of her HR Synergy team members and why I appreciate each of them.
Linda is my Compliance Guru. If she’s unsure about something, she’s not going to say anything until she’s 100% confident. Linda works with incredible follow-through.
Jessica is my Numbers Person. The more “numbers projects” I give her, the more she wants. She is our numbers cruncher who keeps going at something until she figures it out.
I don’t know how Rhonda does it. She finds top-notch candidates, even if she must turnover a rock. She never gives up.
All of my team never gives up. They all give 110%.
March 19 is “National Clients Day”. We at HR Synergy, LLC are thankful for you, our clients. Watch for your surprise coming this month as a THANK YOU from us!

UPDATE: Sexual-Harassment Claims
President Joe Biden is expected to sign the H.R. 4445 into law, as the House and Senate passed the measure in early February.
Survivors of sexual assault and sexual harassment will have the choice to go to court or arbitration, instead of forced arbitration. The bill includes any new claims, despite when the behavior occurred.

PLANNING FOR SEASONAL HIRES
It’s that time of year again! Between April and July, 16- to 24-year-olds look to work seasonally. Therefore, we’re here to give you a refresher on the labor laws based on age. Also, different documentation is required based on the age of the employee.
Employees under 16, must have an Employer’s Request for Child Labor form completed by their local school/superintendent’s office/legal guardian and must have the Youth Employment Certificate completed by their legal guardian within 3 days of employment date.
Employees between 16 and 17 years old must have written permission from a parent/legal guardian kept on file by the employer prior to start date with the following information:
- The employer’s name and location
- The date permission is given by the parent or legal guardian
- The signature of the parent or legal guardian
- The title of the position the minor will fill or a description of the work activities
- The minor’s date of birth.

Be sure to review the Child Labor Bulletin 101 under the Fair Labor Standards Act to check that the work does not fall under “Hazardous Occupations.”
