Upcoming Effective Dates That May Apply to Your Company:

May 5, 2011  / FLSA Tip Credit

 The final rule provides that to use the tip credit, an employer must inform a tipped employee about several aspects of using the tip credit, including the direct cash wage the employer is paying the tipped employee. The rule also clarifies, though does not amend, certain issues related to the meal credit, compensatory time provisions and the fluctuating workweek method of computing overtime.


May 16, 2011 / I-9 Final Rule: Acceptable Documents
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced a final rule that prohibits employers from accepting expired documents and revises the list of acceptable documents. While the final rule makes no changes to the interim rule that has been in effect since April 2009, employers are encouraged to ensure they have the most up-to-date resources on this issue.


May 24, 2011 / ADA Amendments Act Final Rule

The long-awaited final regulations updating the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) scale back the proposed rule in several respects, including the definition of "disability." Instead of listing impairments consistently considered disabilities under federal law, the regulations provide guidelines for employers to use in identifying disabilities.
