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.

SUMMARY:How to Prepare a Work-In-Progress Schedule
DESCRIPTION:A construction in progress (“CIP”) schedule is not just a schedule requested every year by your accountant.  It is a financial management tool that helps key decision makers understand how a company is performing on contracts.  CIP schedules are often used to identify trends or problems as jobs progress\, as opposed to waiting until the end of job.  These schedules are the only accurate way of knowing a company’s true profitability.  In this course\, there will be an overview of how to prepare a CIP schedule\, analysis techniques when reviewing a CIP\, and best practices. \nInstructor & ABC Eastern PA Member: \nAdrienne Straccione\, CPA\, Partner \nWouch Maloney CPAs & Business Advisors

SUMMARY:ACT 75- Understanding Unauthorized Employees
DESCRIPTION:On October 7\, 2020\, the Construction Industry Employee Verification Act (also known as “Act 75”) went into effect.  Act 75 prohibits a construction industry employer from knowingly employing an unauthorized employee.  Unauthorized employees are defined as those who do not have the legal right or authorization under Federal law to work in the United States.  This seminar provides an overview of Act 75 and employers’ responsibilities\, enforcement of Act 75 and the potential penalties and suspension of license\, and explains what contractors must do to qualify for the Act 75 “safe harbor” that insulates them from liability for Act 75 violations by their subcontractors. \nJeff Venzie will be presenting this seminar. \n \n  \nJeff is the principal and founder of Venzie Construction Law\, LLC\, a law firm based in Exton\, PA\, with a specialized focus on construction law and construction litigation and dispute resolution.  Jeff has been practicing law for 25 years.  Jeff represents owners\, construction managers\, general contractors\, subcontractors\, material suppliers\, and sureties in all aspects of construction law and litigation. 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.
