Workforce Wise™

Listen to our podcast, Simplify Your Separation Paperwork, to learn more about how the right technology can help your organization better manage your HR offboarding forms. HR professionals know all too well the mountain of paperwork that comes along with hiring a new employee. But often the offboarding process doesn’t receive the same attention and support. Did you know that several states require separation notices that must be sent to termed employees? Improper management of those forms may result in fines to your organization. In addition, many employers have their own separation paperwork which can lead to additional burden and a disjointed experience for the exiting employee. Hear our subject matter experts discuss the new Offboarding Forms service from Equifax Workforce Solutions and learn:

• Why an employee’s exit experience should be important to your organization
• What types of forms are most often required by states, plus employer-specific forms that you are likely to distribute
• How the rise in remote workers complicates the paperwork required 

During our podcast, our speaker Henry Perlowski, a Partner with Arnall Golden Gregory LLP, discusses the current state of the OSHA Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS), litigation around it, and what he thinks might be happening in the next few months. Topics include: 

• Deciding if certain segments of your employees need to be vaccinated vs. eligible for testing requirements
• How state mandates come into play 
• How communication with your employees can be a key to your success 
• The importance of knowing exactly where your employees are working right now
• Whether you should immediately terminate someone who is noncompliant

During this podcast, Christy Abend, Director of Product Strategy for the Affordable Care Act Management service at Equifax will discuss some key points for employers to better understand how vaccine mandates and potential surcharges could potentially affect the affordability of their healthcare plan. 

If you are considering a premium surcharge for unvaccinated employees similar to a tobacco surcharge, you run the risk of rendering your plan “unaffordable” according to the ACA standards. That could lead to potential fines if any of your employees go to the exchange, enroll in coverage, and are determined to be eligible for a subsidy. 

Listen today to learn how those calculations are made, and more about how you can manage the requirements of the ACA. 

This podcast is part of a series around vaccine mandates and how they may impact many of your HR processes. In this episode, we discuss how vaccine mandates could potentially impact your unemployment costs. 

If your employees quit or are terminated due to a vaccination requirement and file for unemployment benefits, will the state actually award the benefits? Is there a difference between quitting before the mandate goes into effect vs. being let go for not complying? Hear what our unemployment cost management subject matter experts think may happen as these cases start to work their way through the state workforce agencies.
