“Many organizations have found out, to their dismay, that all-too-common mistakes by untrained HR and people managers handling medical leave can open the door to employee lawsuits.”-- Jeff Nowak, author of the FMLA Insights blog. So, when it comes to the FMLA, don't let the team down by being the person who: 1. FAILS TO IDENTIFY AN EMPLOYEE'S NEED FOR LEAVE 2. REACTS INAPPROPRIATELY TO AN EMPLOYEE'S REQUEST FOR FMLA LEAVE 3. BADGERS EMPLOYEES DURING THEIR FMLA LEAVE 4. REVEAL

“Today, some of the largest, most successful companies, such as Alphabet, Apple and Microsoft, are scaling up use of data science, recruiting experts in organizational psychology, and expedite their digital transformation to deploy technologies like AI and ML in the workplace to improve their people analytics. In a world of work that is increasingly evolving it is worth reflecting on HR trends we’re expecting in 2022 and the years beyond.” -- JANE HARPER #Hcmunlocked #hr #wor

Every difficult situation creates an opportunity if you’re willing to look for it. The COVID-19 pandemic is no exception to that. Due to the economic impact of the virus, companies have had to transform how they conduct business on the fly. The lengths to which each organization has to adapt varies based upon their state prior to the pandemic. While every business and industry is different, these lessons can be applicable to everyone in some manner. Those who are the most ada

Independent implementation professionals survive and thrive on delivering positive results for their customers on time and within budget. Sales reps who have a  relationship with a  trusted implementation partner can reduce time spent managing accounts through go-live and beyond,  leaving them free to focus on generating new sales.  Sales professionals who excel at prospecting and closing new deals will create the greatest value when they can spend most of their time on those

The technology landscape is littered with examples of projects that have fallen short of expectations, or worse yet, have failed altogether. According to the Society for Human  Resource  Management (SHRM), over 70% of payroll/HR implementations are considered a failure. Of the customers that are successful, many are under-utilizing their systems’  capabilities. Research indicates that the vast majority of failed technology projects result from poor management or lack of execu

The concept of 3rd party specialists might feel like a growing trend in the HCM market, but it’s been successfully deployed for decades with leading software companies. Some of the  largest and most successful companies in the technology sector use certified partners to implement and manage complex projects for their customers. And they have good reason to do so; companies that employ a channel strategy can extend their reach, leverage a vast pool of outside expertise, and in

For clients that have ADP’s ACA Module, 1095-C’s can be placed on a further hold status in ADP WFN by selecting: Process>ACA>ADP Health Compliance> “Manage Forms” from the Form 1095-C tools drop-down menu. Select “Hold ALE” for those companies that you wish to place on hold. NOTE:  You will need to come back and remove the hold status in order for the forms to process as ADP will not automatically “drop the hold” on a particular date. *Please contact us at info@hcmunlocked.co

Background: 300 employee restaurant management company using BenefitMall payroll. Client was facing over $150,000 in ACA penalties that the ADP DM was able to leverage into a conversation about upgrading their HCM technology. Situation: The client was understandably unhappy with their current HCM vendor but had to tackle the larger issue of a six-figure IRS penalty before they could address anything else. HCM Unlocked was hired to correct the mistakes in two years’ worth of 1

Background: 500 employee, multi-EIN, hospitality management company with plans to double in size over the next two years. The client was previously using two HCM vendors spread across their EINs and was looking to consolidate to one. Situation: Client was exploring the HCM technology market and the ADP DM was in a highly competitive sales process. The client was trying to stick to a budget and ADP was not the cheapest option presented, but price was not the primary objection.

Background: 800 employee Professional Services Management company with a portfolio of more than 50 practices. The client was previously using Ceridian as their HCM vendor but decided that moving to ADP WFN would be a better fit for their goals. Situation: The client opted to implement in stages, with the first deliverable being payroll and time & attendance, but deadlines were missed due to a lack of internal resources. The implementation stalled and was at risk of no-startin

If your business received a 226-J letter from the IRS, you’re not alone. The 226-J is the initial letter issued to Applicable Large Employers (ALEs) to notify them that they may be liable for an ACA penalty. An ALE is any company that employs, on average, 50 or more full time employees or full-time equivalent employees for the prior calendar year. Below is an example of the 226-J notice one of our clients received. We were able to build a successful strategy that eliminated

With year end quickly approaching it’s time to get ready for the 2019 ACA reporting requirements NOW if you employee more than 50 full-time or full-time equivalent employees. The easiest way to do this is through your payroll company since they already store most of the needed information. Be careful, because a lot of payroll vendors have deadlines, meaning you cannot purchase or implement the software at the last minute. Some of these deadlines may be as soon as October. ADP

With “Component 1” in the rearview mirror, it’s time to prepare for part 2 which is due September 30th (and is far more complex). With many questions and confusion surrounding “Component 2” of the EEO-1 filing I decided to head to my local EEOC office in search of answers. Unfortunately, I left the EEOC office with no further clarification than what I went in with. Instead, it became apparent that the EEO-1 filing due September 30th was going to be a bumpy ride. Some of the c
