Employment Law Compliance Plan

Video Chat with Marylee Luther

Traci: Hello, this is Traci Goldeman with Atwood and Allen Consulting. I wanted to take a minute to talk with you about your business. Just so you’re aware, I will be recording our communications over the next several weeks, including this video chat, and placing them in your file for my employees to use as a reference. Having said that, let’s get started. Why don’t you tell me a bit about you and your business?

Marylee: Hi, Traci. My name is Marylee Luther and I am the HR Director at Clapton Commercial Construction. We’re expanding our business to another state, and we’d like your help getting our human resources department ready for the move.

Traci: And what location are you looking at?

Marylee: We plan to expand into Arizona.

Traci: What is your current location?

Marylee: We’re currently located in Detroit, Michigan.

Traci: OK, and how many employees do you have?

Marylee: We have 650 employees, and we plan on adding 20% in the new state.

Traci: All right, we’ll keep that in mind. Now, the first thing I’d like to do is to address employment laws, so we can make sure you’re on the right track. I’ll have my employees work on identifying applicable laws as well as the consequences of noncompliance with those laws, then we’ll give you some recommendations on how to be compliant. Once we have that, we’ll work on some other HR issues for you. Will that work?

Marylee: That sounds great, Traci! Thanks so much for your help, and I’ll look for that information from you.

Traci: OK, thank you for your time, and I will be in touch with you soon. Don’t hesitate to contact me if anything changes, or if you have any questions. Bye.
