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.

In the HR industry, change is quite normal as benefits, employee relations, and employment laws and regulations modify often. 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 SEMA’s HR Hub offers a solution. 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. You can finally find answers to the toughest and most common HR questions by visiting the “Issues & Answers” section of the HR Hub.

According to SEMA’s HR Hub, the top five hot topics for the week include:

• U.S. employees are giving senior leadership low marks – Survey Results
• Discussion draft of “Better Care” health bill repeals individual, employer mandates – Proposed Legislation
• Employers reminded that outdoor workers must be provided with fresh water to prevent heat illness – California – Agency News
• Temporary total disability rates updated for 2018 – California – Worker’s Compensation
• Mercer’s annual Cost of Living Survey finds African, Asian and European cities dominate the list of most expensive locations for working abroad – Survey Results

This is a first look and confirmation of the ’19 Chevy Silverado 1500 Diesel.

The new Silverado caught at the diesel pump in Death Valley, California, confirmed what we had already suspected for a while. On top of having diesel pumped into the truck, 100% certainty can be gleaned from the fuel door cover, which reads “Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel Only.”

Engine rumors suggest the possibility of a Navistar 3.0L inline six-cylinder diesel engine, but GM also has a 4.5L diesel V6 in its arsenal that only needs to be dusted off and put into production. Another rumor suggests that GM may try to upgrade the turbo and injectors in the 2.8L four-cylinder diesel in the Colorado/Canyon compact pickups for the 1500 models. With an aluminum-intensive body on the way (sans the bed), a four-cylinder diesel could potentially have enough power for the 1500 model.

The new Silverado will continue with refinements on the current V8 engines, but will also get a diesel option on the half-ton models—currently heavy-duty trucks are equipped with the Duramax diesel—and a turbocharged V6 is also likely to join the lineup. A 10-speed automatic first seen in the Camaro ZL1 will find its way into at least some trucks at launch.

Expect to see the new Silverado in late 2018 as a ’19 model.
