Every year, small businesses are faced with an ever-increasing labyrinth of state/federal laws governing employee relations. In addition to ensuring that the company is in compliance with statutes on pay and overtime, businesses must ensure that the workplace complies with safety standards, discrimination statutes and the laws contained in the Americans with Disabilities Act. OSHA requires employers to record and report any work-related injuries or illnesses, to communicate the risks of the use of hazardous materials in the workplace plus provide proper protective gear and training to employees.
