Update - November 25th Don't forget about our upcoming Chapter meeting on December 18th. It will be a Mock OSHA Trial and will be held at The Oberlin Inn. We anticipate a large crowd, so RSVP early. You can view more information on the event here. Speaking of our Chapter meetings, we have been working very hard on the 2009 Programming calendar. We have invited everyone from attorneys to motivational humorists to speak on topics of your interest. We plan to release the calendar in the next month, so keep checking back here for updates. Suggestions for meeting topics or speakers can be made here. October 2008 Updates Even though the Presidential Election is over, we are still getting requests for the "HR Issues and the Presidential Candidates" document. This was published in one of the free weekly HR Matters E-Tip from PPS. It addresses McCain's and Obama's position on: Employee Free Choice Act, Fair Pay Act, Family and Medical Leave Act Amendments, Minimum Wage and Workplace Flexibility. You can view it here. This continues to be a helpful piece of post-election information. We have moved the SHRM News Feed page to the member-only area of the web site. Chapter members can create a login through our Home Page and view things such as the newsletter (and now the News Feed) there. September 2008 Updates We've left some of the below-information regarding the Ohio Healthy Families Act available on the site. Even though this proposed legislation was not on November's ballot, we have been advised that it may reappear on the Federal level, in the same form, in early 2009. Please continue to monitor this site for future updates. As January approaches, our Board of Directors is looking for interested Chapter members that might like to volunteer some time in one of the several roles we currently have vacant. Please let Craig or Tammie know of your interest. You can contact them through this link. Archived Updates Governor Ted Strickland issued a memo yesterday regarding the Ohio Healthy Familes Act. You can view it here. The Governor also issued information on the Principles of a Paid Sick Act and Why a Compromise is needed, which you can click on to view. The Summer edition of the Newsletter will still be available for a short time. Log in to your profile through this site and a "Newsletter" page will appear. You can view it there. |
