Don't Let Summer Bring Compliance Surprises

While your business is focused on the busy season, compliance requirements may be changing. State minimum wages are adjusting, tip credit rules are shifting, posting requirements are being updated, and retirement mandates are expanding across the country.

Staying on top of mid-year changes is just as important as your January compliance review. The businesses that get caught off guard are usually the ones that assumed nothing had changed.

Here's what the checklist covers:

  • State Minimum Wage Changes: Make sure your payroll reflects the latest state updates.
  • Tip Credit Rules: Confirm you're applying tip credit regulations correctly in your state.
  • Required Posting Updates: Verify your workplace postings meet current federal and state requirements.
  • State Retirement Mandates: More than 20 states have enacted mandates.
  • Mid-Year HR Review: Close your compliance gaps today and get your business ready for year-end.
