CBIZ HCM Achieves Nacha Certification

Nacha Certified

Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023

2023 mileage

Congress recently passed sweeping legislation to support retirement plan sponsors and participants. According to Congress, employer-sponsored retirement plans are like a well-oiled machine; these plans work well when they’re readily available and maintained properly. With SECURE Act 2.0, legislators have greased the wheels of the American retirement system to help it support an evolving workforce amid a volatile economy.


It's important to be aware of these upcoming changes so you can ensure that your company is prepared to update your retirement plan design accordingly. Furthermore, the provisions in SECURE Act 2.0 represent broader trends within the retirement plan industry, which you should also stay on top of.

 

Salary Transparency - A Business Perspective

transparency

Pay transparency affords an excellent opportunity to cultivate trust and strengthen relationships with current employees, even if your compensation is less than your competitors. It can also help streamline your recruitment efforts and help ensure that candidates applying for the job are willing to work for the indicated pay. In addition, embracing pay transparency makes your company more attractive and can reduce time-to-hire. Finally, even when not required, providing this information can help you stay ahead of pay disclosure mandates.

 

Jumpstart Your Company's Succession Planning

Americans continue to change jobs at a record pace. Since mid-2021, more than 4 million workers per month have voluntarily left their jobs. Not surprisingly, 47% of Human Resource (HR) leaders say recruiting and retention are their top challenges in 2023. But while flexible work arrangements and pay transparency grab the headlines as potential solutions, HR professionals shouldn’t overlook a crucial tool that helps attract and retain top talent — succession planning.


 

In Your State

DC Tipped Minimum Wage Increase Delayed

Minimum Wage Employers in the District of Columbia (DC) have a few more months before the tipped minimum wage increases from $5.35 to $6.00 per hour.

Initiative 82, a ballot measure passed in November 2022, was set to take effect on January 1, 2023, but was delayed because it still needed congressional approval. The delay prompted the DC Council to pass emergency legislation that postpones increasing the tipped wage until May 2023.

 

Michigan Minimum Wage Increase On Hold

MI The Michigan Court of Appeals has reversed a lower court opinion that would have allowed for a minimum wage spike and expanded paid sick leave for employees under state law. Absent further court action, the law remains unchanged, and employers will not have to comply with more generous provisions of an earlier version of the law.
