NY Combating sexual harassment takes more than talk
November 6th, 2019
Frank Kerbein, Director of the Center for Human Resources, The Business Council of New York State, Inc.
Combating sexual harassment in the workplace entails more than some posters and FAQs, although both can and should be part of the process.
And the State of New York has provided some guidance that will help you and your workplace address the issues as well as comply with the law.
Frank Kerbein provides some guidance, model materials, a template from the state and links to help you navigate.
You know about friends with benefits (you do know about friends with benefits, right?).

Everyone and everything can benefit from a good toolkit, even your workplace.

IL No choice allowed - auto enrollment in IRAs and Chicago dogs
October 22nd, 2019
Wesley Covert at Laner Muchin
Enrollment in a retirement savings program for Illinois employees is getting to the point that it requires no thought, , no choice, no decisions to be made, kind of like when you order a Chicago dog.
As of November of 2019, all private sector workers working for a company with 25 or more employees who do not have access to an employer-sponsored retirment plan will be automatically enrolled in IRAs that will take a 5% after-tax bite out of gross wages.
Wesley Covert explains the Secure Choice Savings Program, provides some links for further info and mentions an upside for employers.
