FAQ

In California, where employment laws are especially strict, HR is not just about hiring and managing employees. It is also about ensuring legal compliance and avoiding costly mistakes.

There are several types of employment statutes including civil rights, family and medical leave, workers' compensation, and labor relations laws.

HR law, sometimes called employment law, is an area of law that focuses specifically on the workplace and workers. The aim of these laws and regulations is to promote fair and equal treatment of a company's employees.

What laws does HR need to know? The number of laws and wage and hour regulations at the federal, state and local levels that HR must know to stay compliant is vast. Some of the more prominent regulations include the: Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)

They provide essential protections to workers in a variety of areas related to sexual harassment, discriminatory practices, and fair and equitable wages. At the helm of all of these considerations are human resources professionals.

Both Georgia statute 19-11-9.2 and the Federal Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 require all Georgia employers to report all newly hired employees, including rehires, to the "State New Hire Reporting System". No employers are exempt.

All new employees should complete and sign the Federal W-4 and State G-4 tax forms. The forms will be effective with the first paycheck.

Georgia is an at-will state, and you, as an Employer may determine the terms and conditions of your employment. You may terminate an employee for a good reason or bad reason or no reason at all, as long as you don't violate any anti-discrimination laws, and you may decide the terms and conditions of the employment.
