  • Question of the Week

    Question: 

    “We would like to give candidates a “thank you” for interviewing with us. Can we provide a monetary gift to candidates for interviewing?”

    Answer:

    Yes. You can give a candidate a thank you gift, monetary or otherwise, when they interview with you. We would recommend establishing a process for providing thank you gifts to ensure consistency and equity in determining who receives them. You could provide a gift when candidates reach a certain point in the process (e.g., the final round) or give them to those interviewing for a certain level of position within your organization (e.g., director or executive).

    We’d also recommend reaching out to your CPA or tax expert to understand any tax implications.

  • Question of the Week

    Question:

    “Is there a limitation on the length of time that an employee can be classified as a temporary employee?”

    Answer:

    No. There are no federal laws defining how long an employee can be considered “temporary.” The time frame can vary based on an organization’s budget considerations and business needs. For example, an organization may only need to hire employees for an increase in sales over the holiday season or to cover the position of an employee on leave. Even then, the employee on leave may need to shorten or extend their leave time, or the holiday “rush” may start or end earlier than the organization projected.

  • Upcoming Webinar: Employment Law 101 for Non-Lawyers

    Employment law topics are discussed very frequently, but it’s not always very well understood.

    In this webinar, we examine a few key employment law concepts to help you understand their legal basis and nuances, such as the at-will employment relationship and what constitutes workplace harassment. We’ll also focus on the importance of Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act and discuss how seemingly minor payroll oversights can turn into massive wage and hour claims. If you’re looking to develop your understanding of these subjects in depth from a legal expert, then this is the session for you.
