Staying in constant touch with your employees has never been more important. More than 75% of current union members use text messaging every day to stay in touch with members. Through TMU (text my union) labor organizations are using the Communication Advantage to immediately mobilize members to attend meetings, pay dues, vote, rally, strike and stay in real-time contact. How often do you see your employees?
Most Americans are on Facebook, are LinkedIn, Twitter, use MySpace, blog or post videos on YouTube. Nearly 80% of all Internet users participate in social networking. Clearly a fast growing phenomenon, it is evolving rapidly, creating challenges for organizational strategies and relationships.
In this webinar, you will learn how to leverage your social networking efforts, and how to manage social networking in your organization. We will share outcomes of unions' social networking efforts as well as video examples and case studies to shed light on how your social networking plan can counteract these efforts.

Description:
The United States Department of Labor and its Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) have renewed the focus on the misclassification of employees as Independent Contractors. The State of California has also recently increased its regulatory oversight in this area. The consequences for improperly classifying employees as independent contractors can be costly, resulting in back taxes, as well as minimum wage, overtime, and benefits violations. There has also been a spike in class action lawsuits in this area affecting major corporations. Hospitals should take proactive steps to reduce their liability and avoid the mistake of improperly classifying their employees.
Learning Objectives:
* Learn what factors federal and state regulatory agencies and the courts consider when deciding whether someone is an independent contactor.
* Understand the federal and state tax ramifications and/or penalties of misclassifying an independent contractor.
* Learn about proposed legislation.
* Discuss what employers must do to be in compliance.

Hospitals face significant challenges in their efforts to comply with the labyrinth of rules and regulations that comprise both state and federal wage and hour laws. California's wage and hour rules are the most complicated and stringent in the country, and the federal rules are also important, as they occasionally fill the gaps not addressed by state law. The wage and hour rules affect every phase of the employment relationship, from the time employees are hired until they leave, and sometimes even thereafter.
