In the HR industry, change is quite normal as benefits, employee relations, and employment laws and regulations are often modified. It’s important for business professionals (HR teams, hiring managers or general managers) to stay abreast of HR updates to remain compliant. Busy work schedules can make this a challenge for most professionals, but the SEMA HR Hub offers a resolution. Setting up alerts on the HR Hub based on your preferred parameters makes it easier to stay up-to-date on state laws in your local area. HR professionals can finally find answers to the toughest and most common questions by visiting the “Issues & Answers” section of the HR Hub.

- Do employers need a separate ADA notice if their wellness program collects employee health information?
- Must employees on FMLA leave be paid for holiday?
