Many employers face compliance issues because they don\u2019t realize that compliance begins with the hiring process.\u00a0 For example, in Illinois, employers may not ask about an applicant\u2019s credit history and are restricted in when they may ask about an applicant\u2019s criminal history.\u00a0 Employers must also verify employment eligibility by having employees fill out I-9 and W-4 forms.<\/p>\n
Employers face issues with federal, state, and local wage and hour laws that govern how much and when employees must be paid.\u00a0 Plus, they must comply with a number of federal regulations including the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.\u00a0 Employers also have to watch out for employment discrimination issues and properly classify their workers as either employees or independent contractors in compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
