the trends in labor and employment
00:07
are increased complexity in areas
00:10
where there was already a standard
00:14
for 40 years we’ve had wage issues we’ve
00:16
had benefits issues we’ve had labor
00:18
disputes we’ve had discrimination claims
00:20
we’ve had covenant disputes
00:22
workers compensation claims that all
00:25
continues
00:26
but it’s becoming increasingly complex
00:29
benefits is one area for example
00:32
wherehead has become
00:33
increasingly complex for maryland
00:35
employers and employers elsewhere
00:37
because you now literally need to be
00:40
cognizant of
00:41
federal standards such as the family
00:44
medical leave act
00:45
of course other things such as the ada
00:49
you also then have to be familiar with
00:50
state standards for
00:52
sick and safe leave laws and other
00:55
state and local law provisions related
00:58
to the use
00:59
and the availability of things like sick
01:02
leave
01:02
that has increased the complexity for
01:05
employers
01:06
and they’re working to try and make sure
01:09
they comply
01:10
that’s a part of the service we provide
01:12
trying to help them through those
01:13
questions
01:14
it is going to continue to get more and
01:16
more complex that’s just the reality
01:19
and helping them with the issues as they
01:23
come up and helping them to understand
01:25
again if they dealt with it 10 years ago
01:28
and they think it’s the same
01:29
very often we have to explain to them
01:31
the dynamics are totally different
01:33
and you need to be aware of that and you
01:35
need to build that into your decision
