ENNICO: Finding the right lawyer for your small business

Construction employment surpasses pre-pandemic peak Construction employment increased from February 2020—the month before the coronavirus pandemic—to February 2022 in nearly three-fifths of U.S. metro areas, according to an analysis by the Associated General Contractors of America of new government employment data. Association officials said it is getting harder to find workers and urged officials to invest more in career training and education programs for construction.

“The rebound in construction employment in most metros shows there is robust demand for infrastructure and nonresidential buildings, as well as housing,” said Ken Simonson, the association’s chief economist. “But contractors in many areas say they would hire even more workers if there were

enough qualified candidates.”

There were 364,000 job openings in construction at the end of February— the most for any February since the government first compiled the data in 2001, Simonson noted. Openings exceeded the 342,000 workers hired by construction firms that month, which implies contractors wanted to hire twice as many employees as they were able to, he said.

Construction employment rose in 209 or 58 percent of 358 metro areas over the 24-month period. Salt Lake City, Utah added the most construction jobs (5,100 jobs, 11 percent), followed

by Jacksonville, Florida (4,800 jobs, 10 percent); Nashville-DavidsonMurfreesboro-Franklin, Tenn. (4,000 jobs,

8 percent); and Boise City, Idaho (3,800 jobs, 14 percent). Walla Walla, Wash. had the highest percentage gain (36 percent, 400 jobs), followed by Decatur, Ill. (32 percent, 900 jobs); Lawrence-Methuen Town-Salem, Mass.-N.H. (24 percent, 800 jobs); and Lake Havasu City-Kingman, Ariz. (23 percent, 800 jobs).

Construction employment declined in 109 metro areas from the February 2020 level and was stagnant in 40 areas. New York City lost the most jobs (-25,500 or -16 percent), followed by Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land, Texas (-23,400 jobs, -10 percent) and Baton Rouge, La. (-6,800 jobs, -14 percent). The largest percentage declines were in Odessa, Texas

One-third of U.S. workforce missed by traditional company communications MSL U.S. has released a new study titled “Where’s Your Water Cooler?” that shows traditional internal communications efforts are missing the mark for too many employees. This primary research finds 34% of employed people say internal communications have little to no impact on how they think about their employer’s reputation.

This communications gap is more intense when you compare the impact of internal communications between employees that work at a desk for the majority of their time (desk-based) and those that do not work at a desk the majority of their time (deskless).

Desk-based workers are influenced by traditional internal communications channels and company public statements on forums such as company websites or intranets. In contrast, a higher proportion of deskless workers are most influenced by other employees and family members.

The study, based on survey responses from 2,300 U.S. adults over the age of 18, found the distinction between deskless and desk-based workers is a key predictor of sources of influence. Deskless workers comprise 37% of the U.S. workforce and include professions such as nurses, pilots, delivery drivers, teachers, factory workers and retail salespeople. A full 41% of this

group confirm internal communications have little to no impact on how they think about the reputation of their employers.

“Most internal communications have an unintentional but inherent bias toward desk-based workers, so many traditional tactics and channels fail to connect,” said Kelly Jankowski, MSL Managing Director of Corporate Reputation. “Companies that want to create lasting bonds with all employees must turn to non-traditional channels and rethink their strategy to include efforts that intersect with the natural workflow of their employees, particularly those who are deskless.”

Key findings of the study, which was conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of MSL, include: • 69% of deskless workers’ perceptions of their employers are affected a great deal or moderate amount by other employees. Family members are the next highest source of influence at 62%.

• Desk-based workers consult a broader diversity of sources than deskless workers do. The top two sources of influence are internal announcements (70% of people report a great or moderate amount of impact on their perceptions of their employers) and what their company

says in public (69%).

• Desk-based employees’ perceptions of their employers are also affected a great deal or moderate amount by other employees, almost the same rate as deskless workers (68% and 69%, respectively).

• The data shows that internal communications are more critical than ever because employees are key to defining corporate reputation. In fact, three in five Americans believe a company’s employees are a more credible source for positive information about a company than company executives (59% vs. 41%) or a news outlet (60% vs. 40%).

“Employees have the power to be an organization’s greatest ambassadors or its greatest agitators, making them one of the most critical audiences of a company’s reputation plans,” said Vickie Fite, MSL Senior Vice President and leader of its internal communications offering. “Our study shows exactly why moving beyond the traditional boundaries of internal communications to find the true sources of influence of an employee is imperative to success. This influence-centric orientation to your internal communications puts the focus on impact over volume to drive more meaningful outcomes.”

12 sentenced in multimillion-dollar construction fraud case

BY MELINDA WALDROP MWALDROP@SCBIZNEWS.COM Twelve defendants from seven construction-related companies have been sentenced for employment tax fraud felonies and crimes related to hiring unauthorized workers in a scheme that saw at least $15 million in bogus checks cashed.

The convictions are the first to come from a multi-year undercover investigation, led by the IRS and Homeland Security Investigations, in the Myrtle Beach area and along the South Carolina coast, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for District of South Carolina.

The operation targeted the use of unlicensed check cashers to facilitate under-the-table cash payments to employees, many of whom were unauthorized aliens. The check cashers would also provide certificates of insurance falsely stating that the employees were covered under workers’ compensation insurance. These off-thebook payments defrauded the United States out of applicable employment taxes on the employees, according to the U.S Attorney’s office.

At least $15 million in checks were cashed, resulting in millions of dollars of total losses to the government.

“These defendants stole money from South Carolina taxpayers, they stole opportunities from those in the construction industry who did the right thing, and they stole safety from the workers who labored on jobsites without insurance,” U.S. Attorney Corey F. Ellis said in the release. “This successful prosecution was only possible because of the tireless and dedicated investigative efforts of IRS and HSI, as well as the work of our local partners. The defendants in this case, none of whom had criminal records before this investigation, are all now convicted felons. Several face potential deportation, several have lost

their homes and face financial ruin, and many will never be able to return to the work they spent their lives pursuing.”

Around 2019, IRS undercover agents embedded themselves in the Myrtle Beach area and recorded multiple interactions with the defendants’ companies. The investigation found that a member of the construction company would meet with an unlicensed check casher and give the check casher a business check made out to a company the check casher had created. The check casher would give the construction company representative a bag of cash to pay the employees, holding back a fee of approximately 3 percent.

The check casher would also provide an invalid certificate of workers’ compensation insurance, according to the release, with the check casher claiming to be a subcontractor who provided the employees and provided insurance.

“Criminals that exploit U.S. labor and tax laws for profit take advantage of not only the workers, but they also steal revenue from the government, while also creating an unfair business advantage over their competitors,” said Special Agent in Charge Ronnie Martinez, who oversees HSI operations in North Carolina and South Carolina. “Thanks to the great work done by our agents along with our state, local and federal partners, we were able to stop this criminal organization from defrauding the government and hurting the local economy.”

Chief U.S District Judge R. Bryan Harwell sentenced each of the defendants to five years’ probation, with all but one sentenced to home confinement. Each defendant must also pay restitution.

The defendants received probation, the U.S. Attorney’s office said, because they admitted guilt early, agreed to assist authorities and collectively paid nearly a million dollars toward the approximately $3 million dollars owed to the IRS. Each defendant previously pleaded guilty to one felony count of conspiracy to defraud the United States and one misdemeanor count of unlawful

employment of aliens.

The following defendants were sentenced in the case: Daniel A. Lavoie, 49, of Conway: Five years’ probation, 18 months home confinement with location monitoring, and $293,402.50 in restitution Enrique R. Reyes, 48, of Conway: Five years’ probation, 18 months home confinement with location monitoring, and $293,402.50 in restitution Walter A. Duran, 45, of Myrtle Beach: Five years’ probation, 21 months home confinement with location monitoring, and $976,076.08 in restitution Lisa Caulley Sellers, 57, of Myrtle Beach: Five years’ probation, eight months home confinement with location monitoring, and $488,038.04 in restitution Ming Xue Nan, 52, of Myrtle Beach: Five years’ probation, 14 months home confinement with location monitoring, and $173,712.43 in restitution Katherine L. Welker, 39, of Myrtle Beach: Five years’ probation, eight months home confinement with location monitoring, and $173,712.43 in

restitution Josafa P. Neto, 43, of Myrtle Beach: Five years’ probation, 18 months home confinement with location monitoring, and $209,847.07 in restitution Marylany Hardman Levino, 36, of Myrtle Beach: Five years’ probation and $209,847.07 in restitution Saul Prieto, 56, of Myrtle Beach: Five years’ probation, nine months home confinement with location monitoring, and $74,868.50 in restitution Martha E. Zarate, aka Martha E. Prieto, 54, of Myrtle Beach: Five years’ probation, nine months home confinement with location monitoring, and $74,868.50 in restitution Marcos Caetano De Almeida, 45, of Myrtle Beach: Five years’ probation, 21 months home confinement with location monitoring, and $298,816.52 in restitution Johanna A.

Choate Construction Company of Charlotte named Nation’s Safest Construction Company by national contractors group Choate Construction Company was recognized for having the nation’s best construction safety and wellness plan in 2021 by the Associated General Contractors of America. The association, which oversees the WTW Construction Safety Excellence Awards, an annual ranking of construction safety programs, noted that 46 other companies were also selected as winners for the quality of their safety programs.

“Safety and health is the number one priority for the construction industry and it’s important that we recognize our member companies for their efforts to lead by example,” said Bob Lanham, the association’s president and president of Williams Brothers Construction Co., Inc. in Houston, Texas. “These awards also provides an opportunity for them to share the innovative ideas they are implementing to keep safety at the forefront in the construction industry.

This experience makes us all better, which is the goal.”

Lanham noted that there are multiple winners because the awards are distributed for several categories, based on the amount and type of work performed.

He added that the AGC-Willis Towers Watson Construction Safety Excellence Award winners are selected by a panel of five independent safety professionals within the government, corporate, and insurance industries. Finals judging for the awards program took place during the contractors’ association’s annual convention in Grapevine, Texas.

Choate Construction was judged and selected as the grand award winner from among 15 first-place winners across six occupational divisions. Another Charlottebased firm, Crowder Construction Inc., was selected as the third-place winner in the under 400,000 work hours category in the Heavy Division. The firms developed and implemented exceptional safety and risk control program through continuous improvement and maintenance of their safety and health management systems.

Lanham noted that the firm’s commitment to protecting its most valuable asset, the

taking steps to recruit more people into the industry, including with its “Construction is Essential” targeted digital advertising campaign and the “Culture of Care” program that it designed to help firms retain new workers. They urged public officials, however, to support those efforts

workforce, makes them a leader in the industry.

“Willis Towers Watson (WTW) is proud to be an AGC partner in safety and honored to be the long-term sponsor for AGC’s Construction Safety Excellence Awards, a partnership that began over thirty years ago,” said Mike Fredebeil, CSP, Construction Risk Control Leader – North America, WTW. “The grand award winner, Choate Construction, demonstrates the intent of the program.

Four years ago, Choate entered for the first time and placed 3rd in their divisional category. They took a pandemic break and returned two years later, placing first. This year they placed 1st in their division and were also selected as the grand award winner. The CSEA program is all about looking at yourself and continuous improvement.”

Buyers pay up to 3.7% more for homes that work hard, play hard

In a market where home values are hitting new record highs, multifunctional homes with features that accommodate both work and play are fetching even higher prices than the competition.

Zillow®’s 2022 Home Features That Sell analysis finds listings mentioning remote work-friendly features and amenities that make it easier to unwind and entertain at home can sell for more than expected, while features associated with energy efficiency and sustainability can help a home sell faster.

“Home buyers are investing in features that reflect the changes in their lives,” said Amanda Pendleton, Zillow’s home trends expert. “While the world slowly exits the pandemic, this data provides some insight into the new normal. Our lives now revolve around where we live, as opposed to where we work. It’s a realignment with wide-ranging impacts, including these changing home preferences that put value on function over style.”

Zillow looked at nearly 230 features and design terms mentioned in listing descriptions for 3.1 million home sales in 2020 and 2021. Sellers whose homes have these desired features would be wise to highlight them in their listing description if they’re looking to sell for top dollar.

Buyers, meanwhile, can make faster, smarter decisions by using a new tool that helps weigh these amenities. Zillow’s new Homes to Compare tool gives shoppers a comprehensive chart that compares up to five homes side-by-side on more than 70 key listing details including interior features and architecture.

and hybrid work has put a premium on certain features that allow buyers to work from home. A strong internet connection has become essential as movers seek out relative affordability and more space farther away from city centers. Highspeed broadband access, when mentioned in a listing description, is associated with a 2.5% sale premium. A Zoom room or home office space can add 1.6% to a home’s sale price.

Features that add functionality to the kitchen can also help homes achieve higher sale prices. Steam ovens topped the list for a second consecutive year as the pandemic launched a new generation of home chefs. When mentioned in a listing description, this high-end kitchen appliance, which quickly cooks food with steam instead of oil, can contribute to a home selling for 3.7% more than expected.

Buyers appear willing to pay more for other functional kitchen features that make cooking and cleanup faster and easier, such as new appliances (2.6%) and quartz countertops (2.3%).

Features that play hard

Retreat spaces at home, once considered a luxury, are now wishlist items for buyers at all price points.

Homes with a “she shed,” the female equivalent of a man cave, where women can relax and unwind, can command 2.2% more than expected, while homes with a meditation room could see a 1.7% price premium.

Outdoor space with areas for lounging, dining and entertaining continues to be a priority for pandemic-era home buyers.

Homes mentioning pizza ovens and outdoor kitchens can sell for 2.3% and 2.2% more, respectively.

While vacation areas are increasingly popular, buyers nationwide appear willing to pay more for homes that feel like a getaway, even if they’re hundreds of miles from the beach. Nautical style was associated with a 2.4% price premium, while a saltwater pool can help a home sell for 2.1% more than expected.

Sustainability for speedy sales

The pandemic-led shift to remote

Eco-friendly features associated with energy efficiency contributed to homes selling faster than expected. Homes with an EV charging station can sell 10 days faster than similar homes, while homes with drought-resistant landscaping or turf can sell at least nine days faster. Homes boasting energy-efficient features such as double-pane windows, programmable thermostats and smart sprinkler systems can sell between five and seven days faster than expected.

Homes with seismic retrofitting, which make them more resistant to earthquakes, can sell 19 days faster than expected. This feature is found predominantly in updated homes on the West Coast.

by boosting investments in career and technical education programs focusing on construction.

“Career and technical education teaches essential skills and exposes a broader range of people to the many career opportunities available in

construction,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s chief executive officer.

“Helping encourage more people to pursue high-paying construction careers will keep America building and contribute to broader economic growth.”

NOVAK: Quitting may be only way to move up Q: I am a clerical worker at a large financial firm, and I will soon receive my MBA. I thought getting this degree would help me move up in the company, but I no longer think this is true. I am 40 now, and from what I have seen at the company, younger employees have an advantage.

I had previously applied for a job in a different department that I did not get. My boss originally told me he would recommend me, but I have a feeling he does not feel that way now.

Should I confront him about whether he recommended me? If my company will not promote me, I prefer to leave than to stay in my current position.

A: Confronting a person on any

issue is not a positive approach to achieving what you desire. Most people are uncomfortable with confrontations; the word itself implies a potentially negative situation. Keep your eyes open for positions in and outside your company and remind your boss about your completing your MBA. Maybe that particular position was not right for you. If you don’t get this newly available position, discreetly look for jobs outside your company. Whatever you decide to do, do not tell your boss you will leave if you are not promoted.

Maybe it wasn’t the right time for your boss to find a good replacement for you.

You never know the whole story as to why one person is hired over another.

Take your boss to lunch for a casual business meeting to discuss your future there. Through comfortable conversation, you will see how your boss really feels about recommending you for a different position in the company. Maybe at that time he was more concerned about the challenge in replacing you.

Present your reasons why you think you are ready for greater responsibility.

Obtaining a master’s degree may not be a strong enough reason to convince others you are capable of a higher position in the company. Listen carefully to what your boss says and doesn’t say. Keep in mind that not all people are comfortable delivering the truth about how they feel about someone. Sometimes a person

has a better chance for advancement by leaving the current company, but your boss may not want to admit that to you.

If your boss has pigeonholed you as clerical and not a decision-maker, he may have difficulty changing that mental image. Or he may not want to lose you because good employees are hard to find.

Also, your attitude about your age may be a greater deterrent than your age itself. At 40, you offer maturity and experience far beyond that of younger candidates who only have school to rely on. Believing in yourself is the key to success.

ENNICO: Finding the right lawyer for your small business Most small businesses wait until it’s too late before hiring their first lawyer -usually after someone has served them with a lawsuit or has sent a threatening letter.

While nobody enjoys paying legal fees, having a good business lawyer on your team from the beginning can save you tons of money and heartache down the road.

What should you look for in a business lawyer? Here are some tips: DO NOT HIRE A LITIGATOR A litigator is someone who primarily handles lawsuits. Once you’ve been sued, you need a litigator. But a good business lawyer’s primary goal is to keep your business out of court and prevent lawsuits from happening in the first place. Look for a lawyer who can help you: -- form and manage your corporation or limited liability company (LLC) -- draft and negotiate contracts (including your website terms and conditions and privacy policy) -- handle basic tax, employer/employee and trademark/copyright matters LOOK FOR BUSINESS SAVVY A good business lawyer knows more

than just the law. He or she should be able to understand your business well enough to be able to help you understand the business consequences of taking a particular legal action, and anticipate which legal and tax issues your business may face in the future. Though, beware the attorney who thinks he or she knows more about your business than you do, and remember the adage, “Never take business advice from a lawyer.” Lawyers are not risk-takers. They can help you assess the consequences of taking a calculated risk, but it’s ultimately up to you to decide if the risk is worth taking.

MAKE SURE YOUR LAWYER IS WELL-CONNECTED Your business lawyer is the general practitioner or internist you go to when you first need help. Just like a doctor, if your business lawyer cannot help you with a particular problem or transaction, he or she should be able to introduce you to a more specialized attorney who can.

MAKE SURE YOUR LAWYER CAN COMMUNICATE Too many attorneys have forgotten how to speak plain English. If you cannot understand what your attorney is saying, do not blame yourself for not having gone

to law school. Ask for clarification. If you still don’t understand his or her advice on the second go-round, find another attorney.

MAKE SURE YOU LIKE YOUR LAWYER No matter how qualified an attorney may be on paper, if you just don’t feel comfortable dealing with him or her, look for someone else. You are going to be sharing a lot of confidential information and trade secrets with this person, and you don’t want to lie awake at night wondering if he or she will act professionally.

MAKE SURE YOUR LAWYER IS FLEXIBLE ON FEES A good business lawyer realizes that most small businesses don’t have tons of money lying around and will work with you to manage the cost of the relationship. An attorney who charges by the hour for everything they do is not the right attorney for your small business.

A great business lawyer posts the fees on his or her website or Facebook page, so you can see exactly how much his or her services will cost without you even having to ask.

The law is an extremely competitive

profession, and most lawyers will be flexible on their fees -- for example, by charging flat fees for small matters, spreading their fee out over several months or agreeing to cap their hourly fees at a certain figure. But only if you ask. If you are on a limited budget for legal assistance, be sure to communicate that to your attorney up front so there are no surprises down the road.

Having said that, do not try to haggle with an attorney who has offered you a fair price. Remember that he or she is running a small business just like you are and cannot afford to sell his or her services at a price that won’t provide a decent income. Also, if an attorney perceives that all you care about is the lowest possible fee, you will become his or her lowest priority client. A long-term relationship with the right attorney is as much an investment as equipment, supplies or inventory -- and you wouldn’t scrimp on those, would you?

Stocks fall as choppy trading persists on Wall Street

BY DAMIAN J. TROISE AP BUSINESS WRITER NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell broadly on Wall Street Wednesday, erasing most of their gains for the week, as investors were discouraged to see more evidence of inflation’s impact on businesses and another gloomy outlook on the global economy.

The losses follow several bumpy days for markets, with major indexes often lurching between gains and losses by the hour. The volatility persists as investors try to determine how rising interest rates and inflation will impact the economy.

The S&P 500 index fell 44.91 points, or 1.1%, to 4,115.77. The benchmark index managed to hold on to a slight gain for the week. It has notched losses for eight of the last nine weeks.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 269.24 points, or 0.8%, to 32,910.90 and the Nasdaq fell 88.96 points, or 0.7%, to 12,086.27.

Banks and industrial companies were among the biggest weights on the broader

market. Wells Fargo fell 1.8% and Union Pacific shed 3.1%. Some technology stocks also fell. Intel lost 5.3%.

Smaller company stocks fell more than the rest of the market. The Russell 2000 fell 28.56 points, or 1.5%, to 1,891.01.

Bond yields rose. The yield on the 10year Treasury, which banks use to set rates on mortgages and other loans, rose to 3.02% from 2.97% late Tuesday.

The big concerns on Wall Street remain rising inflation and whether the Federal Reserve’s shift to aggressively raise interest rates will help temper the impact or possibly push the economy into a recession.

“What investors need to realize is it’s going to be a long time until inflation numbers look good,” said Brian Levitt, global market strategist at Invesco. “What they need to focus on is whether it gets better or worse related to expectations.”

Inflation continues to sting businesses.

Lawn care products company Scotts Miracle-Gro slumped 8.9% after slashing its profit forecast for the year because retailers aren’t replenishing orders as expected. Retailers have been warning

that inflation is crimping sales as consumers shift to either spending on services or focusing on necessities rather than purchasing otherwise discretionary items, like electronics.

The impact from inflation has only been worsened by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which has put more pressure on energy and food prices since February. U.S. crude oil prices rose 2.3% on Wednesday and are up 63% for the year, while wheat prices are up 39% in 2022. Supply chains have also gotten tighter following a series of lockdowns for Chinese cities fighting COVID-19 cases.

“As long as commodity prices remain elevated, its going to be more difficult to see headline inflation come down,” Levitt said.

Greater inflation pressure from the conflict in Ukraine and lockdowns in China prompted the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development to cut its forecast for economic growth, following several other international groups, including the World Bank, that expect inflation to have a lingering impact on economies around the world.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, testifying before the the Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday, said she expects inflation to remain elevated and bringing that down is a top priority. The Fed is widely expected to raise its key shortterm interest rate by half a percentage point at its meeting next week. That would be the second straight increase of double the usual amount, and investors expect a third in July.

The Fed’s goal is to slow economic growth enough to cushion inflation’s impact. Demand for goods had been outpacing supplies and production capacity through most of the postpandemic recovery. But, investors are concerned that the Fed could go too far too fast in raising rates and nudge the U.S. economy into a recession, especially with economic growth already slowing.

Wall Street is closely watching economic data for signals that could prompt the Fed to potentially ease up on the size of its rate increases. The next big update on inflation arrives Friday, when the U.S. government releases its latest reading on the consumer price index.
