Legal Matters Are You Legal? Jill Benson, Esq, is NCASP’s employment law canary, making us aware of issues that could take the oxygen out of our businesses, our clients’ hiring practices, and our candidates paychecks. At last year’s conference, Jill helped us prepare for ObamaCare’s effects on our industry. During the past months, she’s kept us apprised of potentially devastating workers comp ideas floating around the cavernous halls of the Carolina legislatures. For this year’s conference, Jill is back to healthcare - and more. She’ll tell us about the impact of these new and revised laws on staffing companies and how we can prepare in order to keep our companies healthy:
• The Patient Protection Affordable Care Act (PPACA). • The Family Leave and Medical Act (FLMA). • NC’s classification of independent contractors. Jill is NCASP’s Legal Advisor. If you need employment law advice, contact her at Womble Carlyle, 336.574.8095, JIBenson@wcsr.com.
