💡 Tip Tuesday for Maryland Employers: New Wage and Pay Laws Took Effect on October 1, 2024💡 If you're a business operating in Maryland, it’s essential to stay informed on the recent labor law changes that impact wage practices and pay transparency. Here’s what you need to know: 1️⃣ Maryland Wage Range Transparency Law: This law now requires all employers “engaged in a business, industry, profession, trade, or other enterprise” in Maryland—regardless of size—to provide a wage range for each role upon an applicant's request. This promotes fair pay practices and greater transparency. 2️⃣ Pay Stub and Pay Statement Law: Employers are also required to provide detailed pay stubs that include specific wage and deduction information, ensuring employees have full visibility into their earnings. For organizations without a dedicated HR team, keeping up with these requirements can be overwhelming—especially when time and resources are already stretched thin. Vybrant HR takes the compliance load off your shoulders, so you can focus on running your business with peace of mind. Let us help you build a transparent, compliant, and employee-focused workplace. We welcome the opportunity to discuss your specific needs, goals, and challenges.

How much is enough? We are often asked this question by our clients and the answer can be frustrating. "It depends" on a number of different factors and recent cases indicate that economic conditions are factoring in in a bigger way. This article explains why notice periods (and pay in lieu of notice amounts) are increasing in some short term employment cases. https://lnkd.in/ghAA-62t #humanresources #termination #employmentlaw

Eurofound [BY COUNTRY] Metadata for the Eurofound database of collective agreements for low-paid workers [26 March 2024] https://lnkd.in/g9r5-gEF   [These reports] document the selection of collective agreements in the Eurofound database of collective agreements for low-paid workers. The database includes a sample of collective agreements for each of the selected low-paid sectors of interest. The documentation summarises how the task of identifying relevant agreements was approached, if and to what extent full registers of collective agreements with the required meta-data were available or, in their absence, which other approaches had to be taken. In addition, the documentation includes background information on the relevant member state's sectoral collective bargaining, its actors and functioning, and a description of the sampling approach, as well as basic information on the collective agreements proposed to be included in the database for each of the ten low paid sectors of interest.

For employers based in Maryland or any employers with positions where the work is at least partially "physically performed" in the state of Maryland, important updates here: two new laws went into effect on October 1, 2024.
