NEW YORK, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The midpoint of the year has arrived, and that means new employment laws are rolling out throughout the United States.

The mid-year updates take on greater significance in light of a pandemic-fueled increase in remote work. HR teams are being challenged to comply with additional employment laws in the jurisdictions where their remote employees are located—not just where the company is headquartered.
According to Melissa Silver, senior legal editor of policy solutions for XpertHR, "It's vital that HR stays up to date with every new law that takes effect. Mid-year is the perfect time for companies to ensure their practices don't put them at financial, legal or employee engagement risk."
She continued, "As perfunctory as it may sound, the best way to address compliance is through a current employee handbook."
