New EPLI-Related State Laws Require Employer Focus on Compliance

Ever-changing legal requirements make remaining in compliance a perennial challenge for employers, who are faced with a growing list of obligations and employee rights that may lead to lawsuits. New laws cover EPLI compliance issues including the expansion of prohibited bases of discrimination, leave of absence entitlements and privacy legislation.

Protected category groups for discrimination law were created or expanded in 15 states. Seven new laws added protection for discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity, while others prohibited discrimination based on credit history, military status or the status of being a victim of domestic abuse.

Offering Healthy Eating Options to Employees

Full-time employees spend approximately 2,000 hours at work every year, and with these hours at the workplace typically comes inactivity, eating on the go and stressful schedules.

The workplace is also where employees are most susceptible to mindless eating and stress-related eating. As an employer, you can help your employees make healthy meal and snack choices at the workplace. From healthy vending machine options to more nutritionally sound cafeteria meals, you can do your part to help promote a healthy workplace. (Offering Healthy Eating Options to Employees full PDF.)
