Annual Employment Law Update 
Legal Updates for HR Professionals

Final Rule Impacts Domestic and Household Workers
By: Palmer Kazanjian

When the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) was enacted, it did not apply to workers who were employed directly by households and performed domestic service work, such as cooking, housekeeping, cleaning, and gardening. In 1974, Congress explicitly extended many of the protections of the FLSA to "domestic service" employees. However, Congress left exempt from the Act's minimum wage and overtime protections, those domestic service employees who provide "companionship services" for the elderly or persons requiring assistance caring for themselves as a result of an illness, injury, or disability, and any employee who resides in the household for which he or she provides service.

A Message From SAHRA's VP of Workforce Readiness

In this special feature, SAHRA's Vice President of Workforce Readiness, Diane Bynum Carr, takes a look back at the accomplishments of the Workforce Readiness volunteer team over the past two years. 


SHRM Foundation

For 50 years the SHRM Foundation has supported HR professionals like you, so we invite you to join the GIVE-SHARE-VOLUNTEER anniversary celebration! 
SHRM Certification and MITs
SAHRA will be including in each monthly e-newsletter to our members, information on SHRM certification and Members in Transition opportunities. Our chapter will also be holding informational sessions on SHRM certification throughout this year and including information on how to join SHRM as a member in Transition during our MIT informational meetings. Stay tuned!
 
In this ever-changing business world, the knowledge that HR professionals need is constantly evolving. HR teams are required to assume a greater leadership role, contributing to the strategic direction of their organizations. The evolving challenges in human resources can yield tremendous opportunities to those with
the right training and credentials.


Also...Did you know? SHRM offers a onetime complimentary/free membership for HR professionals in transition. If you are an MIT with SAHRA or looking to join our HR family in the Sacramento region, you can also join a national (and international) network of HR professionals by contacting SHRM's Member Care team via phone at 800.283.7476 (U.S. only) or via email at http://forms.shrm.org/forms/contact-us

This is a great opportunity for people in between jobs, looking for a new career in HR and/or in other transition-related milestones in life. Membership in both associations will enhance career, professional network opportunities and increase HR-related resources available to you.
