Employers with fully remote or hybrid remote work environments should be prepared for additional HR risk and compliance concerns, particularly if they have employees in different states. When employees work remotely in a new state, they create a new “work location.” This work location will be subject to HR and compliance laws in the state and city it’s located. Employers may work with HR compliance providers, such as MP, to conduct an HR compliance audit and ensure they’re in HR compliance in all required states. Read the article to:

HR and Payroll Compliance for Remote Workers: 6 Critical Considerations
In 2021 and 2022, organizations will permit employees to work remotely more than ever. While allowing remote work or hybrid remote work may improve employee engagement, it can also create more risk and legal exposure. Supervising remote employees could trigger risks for non-compliance with state (sometimes city) HR and payroll requirements.

Even if employees move to a new state without telling their employers, the workplace is still subject to those local HR and payroll regulations.) Read the article to:

5 Key Success Factors for Hybrid Work Environments
Employers across the US are implementing hybrid work environments for the first time. This mode is advantageous because it assists workplaces in recruiting and retaining top talent. However, hybrid remote work arrangements also allow employers to reap the benefits of in-person meetings and interactions, especially between team members who need to collaborate. Employers with hybrid work models are also able to provide their staff access to special technologies or tools and to hold in-person events to build employee engagement (a challenging area for those supervising remote employees). It’s important to note that developing (or moving to a permanent) hybrid work environment does require some comprehensive planning and strategy to be successful. Read the article to:
