he need to stay informed of new legislation in our ever-changing industry has become a greater focus of our Global Workforce Strategies practice over the past few years. Many of our clients have requested assistance in staying on top of the various compliance requirements on a federal, and sometimes state level. In response, Laurus Strategies launched Compliance…the Bottom Line, an “as needed” action newsletter informing our clients about recently passed or approved legislation.

Our goal in creating Compliance…the Bottom Line was to provide a practical, concise and timely summary of recently enacted legislation that may affect our clients and their employees. The newsletter offers guidance in what employers may need to do to comply and will oftentimes contain a section co-written by one of our legal partners offering additional background and details surrounding the legislation. Following is an archive of past issues:
