(Morrisville, NY – Nov. 2015) The US Small Business Association Office of Advocacy statistics show that it costs the smallest of businesses almost $7,000 per employee every year to comply with federal regulations. Small businesses experience this financial burden at a rate of 60 percent greater than costs incurred by large corporations.  This statistic does not include your State regulations.

Doing the right thing in the right order matters. When undertaking the hiring of a new employee or reviewing protocol for established employees, let the state Department of Labor provide that overview. Labor Liaison, from the NYS Labor Department will share the required form filings through QA and poster hanging. Come and join the conversation about which tasks within your responsibility of an employer are critical success factors and see how you can mitigate your risk for labor management.
