G&A Partners: Employment Law Forecast 2020 & Beyond
2020-04-30 10:00
Get the inside scoop on what employers might see as far as new employment regulations, enforcement trends and potential new laws on the horizon from a board-certified expert.
Register Here
We may be only a few months in, but 2020 has already seen pretty significant changes in terms of labor and employment law realities, regulations and enforcement:

COVID-19: Employers in every sector and industry have spent the better part of 2020 addressing operational, financial and regulatory issues related to COVID-19. This includes significant reform to paid leave for many employers and efforts from the federal, state and local governments to assist employers navigating this unusual time.
FMLA and ADA Developments: Despite the focus on COVID-19, the courts, the DOL and the EEOC continue to keep FMLA and ADA issues as a key priority, as employee claims are not slowing down.
Wage and Hour Trends and the New “Overtime” Rule: Wage and hour litigation and enforcement from the DOL continues to be a hot topic as the DOL’s long-awaited new overtime rule went into effect which raised the the minimum standard salary/exempt threshold for overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) from $23,660/year to $35,568/year.
Unique Drug and Alcohol Issues for Employers: The increase in recreational and/or medicinal use of marijuana, the opioid crisis and employee use of prescription medications have required employers to revisit testing, abuse and discipline issues.

G&A Partners is excited to welcome back Alexis C. Knapp, an employment law expert with Littler, for our annual webinar all about the biggest employment law trends employers need to know.

ObsidianHR: FFCRA and CARES Acts Explained
2020-04-01 10:00
Good news! On Friday, the President signed into law the CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Recovery and Economic Security) Act. This $2 trillion aid package will offer significantly enhanced benefits for employers and employees over the next six months.
As many Colorado employers have experienced dramatic declines in business, every day matters in plotting your course and taking action. Our labor and employment team is working this weekend on how we will implement and administer these programs as quickly as possible. Time is of the essence, which is why I’m also sharing this PDF reference I received yesterday from Verne Harnish*, author of Scaling Up. It’s the best “business friendly” summary of CARES I’ve seen so far.
Importantly, CARES will make larger SBA and financial distress loans available. These loans include provisions to be “forgiven” in proportion to how much of the loan is used to maintain employment at pre-coronavirus levels. For qualified businesses, at 100%, the government is funding your payroll for the next three months. This seems way better than sending employees to unemployment!
At Obsidian HR, we are collaborating with local banks to expedite the applications for these loans for our clients. The point is to help get you the cash you need faster. We will share information on how to apply ASAP.
Webinar Information
We will be conducting a webinar this week to review the FFCRA and CARES Acts and help answer any questions you may have. Please sign-up as registration is limited.

Wednesday, 4/1 – 10 a.m. MST – [Register Now]

Other resources and news:

FFCRA (Families First Coronavirus Response Act) contains provisions for offering extended sick leave and child care leave, as well as tax credits to defer your employer costs for these programs.
If you worried about the ability to maintain your workforce or do not believe you’ll qualify for a CARES Act Payroll Loan, our Alternatives Guide to a Reduction in Force provides different options you can leverage and includes an easy reference on “how to” if a reduction is necessary.

IPMA: Working with Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, and Other Emerging Technologies in HR
2020-03-04 08:00 - 10:30 | University of Denver, Strum Hall, 2000 East Asbury Avenue, Denver, CO, 80210
Data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) are terms increasingly gaining momentum with each passing day. But what are they exactly and are they something we can learn, develop, and implement into our organizations? Let’s begin with and never deviate from the initial conversation with our team members to collectively move toward the ‘yes’ and gain the affirmative that we can collaborate by capitalizing on each other’s strengths to develop a data system to the benefit of the people in our organizations. The benefits for people and organization are many but without the ‘buy‐in’ and like any other change effort, it won’t have a chance. By expressing a genuine value in each team member’s strengths, creativity and innovations you can develop a system which positions for growth, promotes employee retention, supports the purpose of the organization and enhances a superior employee experience which minimizes turnover.
In the HR world, data analytics can help identify internal talent camouflaged within the pockets of an organization, reveal insight into the candidate experience as well as employee engagement, point out areas for desired growth and provide a clear picture for how organizations can retain talent. Data analytics helps support these conversations that HR practitioners already have and in turn, makes the practitioners more available for “strategic planning, connecting with employees and implementing initiatives that make the company better” (Forbes, Nine Benefits of Embracing Big Data in Human Resources).
For the practitioner, it’s important to learn these skills and how to work with these technologies to remain indispensable members in our organizations because it will be up to us to train the algorithms with the right data germane to the vision, mission and growth strategies. For the organization, it will be critical to keep pace with industry so that talent is not courted away.
About the Presenter:

Robert (Bobby) Balke has a varied career background in higher education, business and training and development. In 2013, Bobby found a way to marry his career interests by pursuing graduate studies at University of Minnesota – Twin Cities where his research focused on adult education, organizational development and change management. Bobby’s research has informed his practice since and particularly within his most recent role as an Academic Advisor/Enrollment Manager at University of Denver, University College where he managed the Strategic Human Resources and Healthcare Management graduate programs serving as sort of an HR Generalist. Additionally, Bobby helped develop a data system for his assigned programs which is currently being implemented across all graduate programs at University College. The data system has enabled the college to maintain its model of ‘high touch’ advising while positioning for significant growth.
Bobby’s interest in data analytics was born from being a life‐long baseball player where everything is counted often making it maddening to be a White Sox fan in recent years. Most fortunately, he has a wonderful family which includes two young daughters who are masterful at distracting him. When that doesn’t work, he enjoys bass fishing, hitting the gym and seeing live music.

IPMA: Managing Up
2020-02-05 08:00 - 10:30 | Parker Town Hall, 20120 E. Mainstreet, Parker, CO, 80138
Effective Communication – Managing Up!
Effective communication in the workplace can be one of our biggest challenges. Communication can be even more tricky when it comes to our manager or boss. Mastering the skill of managing up is exactly what must be done to excel in any organization, even if it seems unnatural to manage those above you in the top-down world of business.
In the world of work, there will always be “a boss.” Someone will always be above you; someone you need to go to for resources. They may be your manager in the hierarchy of your organization, an outside customer, or even a Board. They can help you succeed, or they can stand in the way of your success.
During this session we will touch on five tips to help you build and maintain the crucial employee-manager relationship, which can open the door to achievement, accomplishment, and personal success in your workplace.

Radical Candor: The Art of Getting Stuff Done
January 16, 2020, 3:00pm – 5:00pm
Throughout our personal and professional lives we’re told we speak up too much or not enough, that our approach is too strong or not forceful enough, or that if we don’t have something positive to say – it’s best to say nothing at all. However, if we truly believe that ‘feedback is a gift’, we all need to be equipped to share feedback, both positive and negative, in a constructive, meaningful, careful and impactful way. In this session, you will learn how best to speak and connect with your colleagues, boss, and direct reports to provide and receive direct and honest feedback, how to have more constructive and high-performing teams, and how to keep things moving forward.

With 20 years of experience in Human Resources and Talent Acquisition, Darren Kanthal has held leadership roles across various facets of Human Resources. He has designed and implemented talent management programs in addition to several successful recruitment programs including college, veteran, and employee referral programs.
In his current role as a Coach and Consultant, he helps individuals, small businesses, and non-profits solve people problems with an empathetic and straight-to-the-point approach.
