Financial wellness is already a workplace issue, even when it isn’t openly discussed.

Financial pressure can influence employees’ focus, stress, benefit decisions, and thoughts about their future with an organization. Clear communication and trusted resources can give employees a better place to begin.

When was the last time you reviewed everything a new employee signs during onboarding?

A recent Michigan Supreme Court case gives employers a good reason to take another look.

In Rayford v. American House, the Court examined a shortened deadline for employees to bring employment-related claims and raised important questions about how these agreements are presented during onboarding.

Matt Jemilo breaks down what the case means and what employers may want to review now.

Rayford is one of three developments covered in our latest HR Legal Update.

There’s a lot of HR knowledge around our table. So we make a point to learn from each other. 📚

Our team regularly comes together for Lunch & Learns, giving someone from HRC the opportunity to share their expertise, lead a conversation, and help the rest of us learn something new.

Most recently, our Director of Client Success, Marcy, led us through “Tending What We’ve Built,” a conversation about navigating interpersonal conflict clearly and kindly, and how healthy conflict can help teams learn and grow.

It’s one of the perks of having so many different HR backgrounds, specialties, and experiences on one team. There’s always something we can learn from each other.

Thanks to Marcy for sharing her expertise and to our team for another great conversation around the table! 💛

Medical ma*****na is now classified as Schedule III under federal law. But that doesn’t mean all ma*****na was rescheduled.

That distinction creates some important questions for HR.

How does your policy distinguish between medical and recreational ma*****na? What does this mean for drug testing? And what should a manager do when they suspect an employee is impaired at work?

One especially important piece of the puzzle: a positive ma*****na test can’t tell you whether someone used ma*****na an hour ago or last weekend.

Swipe through for a breakdown of what changed, what hasn’t, and what employers should be thinking about now. ➡️

Then, explore our latest HR Legal Update for the full context on medical ma*****na, a recent Michigan Supreme Court decision, and AI in HR.
