SUMMARY:Effective Delegation Strategies
DESCRIPTION:TARGET AUDIENCE:  Mid-level Managers and up \nHow many times have you done a task yourself because you thought you could get it done quicker and more efficiently than anyone else? Even if you could get it done quicker\, all the time you are spending doing jobs that other people could be doing is time that you are not running your business. Every time you allow yourself to get bogged down in simple details that your employees could be working on\, you are not being an effective leader. The main person in your company who will be truly motivated to grow your company is YOU. Every minute that you spend working on tasks that can be delegated to someone else is a minute that you are not planning\, strategizing\, and building the best business possible. This workshop will discuss effective delegation strategies that you can implement today so you can get back to the most crucial tasks. \n  \nSeminar Hosted by ABC Member Paramount Business Development

SUMMARY:OCIP/CCIP/SDI Seminar
DESCRIPTION:ABC Member Davis Bucco Makara & Dorsey & Construction Risk Partners will be hosting a seminar on Owner Controlled Insurance Program/Contractor Controlled Insurance Program/Subcontractor Default Insurance \nInsurance coverage is as essential as having qualified labor and equipment to perform a construction project.  Sometimes this insurance is offered through Owner Controlled or Contractor Controlled insurance Programs.  These can provide benefits but also anticipated risks for program participants.  This course will discuss the mechanic’s of these programs\, how they are managed\, and what legal risks they do and do not cover.  This course will also examine the growing use of Subcontractor Default Insurance as an alternative to bonding projects.  SDI can provide an important avenue of recovery when enrolled subcontractors default\, while also creating broader opportunities for non-bondable subcontractors to participate in larger projects.

He counsels clients through project management issues and disputes that arise during construction with an eye not only toward protecting his client’s rights and remedies\, but also to formulate and implement a strategy that puts the client in an optimal position to prosecute or defend any post-completion litigation.  Jeff also serves as an arbitrator in construction disputes.  Jeff is a Fellow of the Construction Lawyers Society of America and has been recognized by Pennsylvania Super Lawyers as a top attorney in the area of construction litigation in 2019\, 2020 and 2021.

SUMMARY:The Five Biggest HR/Payroll Issues Facing the Construction Industry
DESCRIPTION:If your construction company has been managing its human capital the same way for years\, you may be falling behind. Human resources and payroll matters change regularly\, especially for a labor-intensive industry like construction.\n\n\nWe will review these five categories\, the regulatory concerns and best practices.\n\n\nEmployee Handbook:\n\n\n\nIs your handbook updated for new sick and family leave requirements?\n\n\nHave you updated the new provisions outlined by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)?\n\n\nAre your workplace attire policies gender neutral?\n\n\nDo you have a vaccine policy and is it compliant with the EEOC and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)?\n\n\n\nRecruitment\, Applicant Tracking and New Hires:\n\n\n\n Do you review job descriptions annually to ensure they match the role and work performed?\n\n\n Are the interviewers trained on proper and compliant interview techniques?\n\n\n Are new hires engaged and provided with the tools they need to be successful on their first day?\n\n\n Are you using the most recent Form W-4\, I-9 and state and Local required documents? Are you ensuring accurate and timely completion by new hires?\n\n\n\nWorkforce Management:\n\n\n\n Are you confident you would pass an I-9 audit and e-Verify procedure review?\n\n\n How seamless and transparent is your harassment complaint and investigation process?\n\n\n Is your disciplinary process effective\, clear\, documented\, transparent and administered consistently?\n\n\n Are you protecting employee information?\n\n\n\nWorkplace Safety:\n\n\n\n In the last year\, have you reviewed and tested your disaster recovery and business continuity plan to ensure its effectiveness? Is it compliant with your insurance company requirements?\n\n\n Does your Safety Committee meet regularly and actively engage in injury prevention and investigation? Are you taking advantage of the workers compensation discounts available? Is your drug testing policy and response consistent\, holistic and transparent?\n\n\n Do you have a training program that outlines emergency response (active shooters\, shelter in place\, response to medical emergencies such as injuries\, heart attacks and overdoses\, etc.)?\n\n\n\nWage and Hour:\n\n\n\n Are employees and managers signing off on timesheets?\n\n\n Are you compliant with the calculation of bonuses (on-call\, attendance\, etc.) in the overtime pay calculation?\n\n\n Are you including all payments to employees in their wage history?\n\n\n Are the deductions from employee pay compliant with federal\, state and local limitations and requirements?\n\n\n\n \n\n\nWebinar will be hosted by ABC Eastern PA Member: Trisha Richardson\, RKL\, LLP.\n\n\nTricia is a Senior Consultant with RKL’s Human Capital Management Practice. With expertise in payroll and human resources\, she is able to help companies align their HR policies with the final payroll product.
