  • Changing Workplaces Review Final Report May 23, 2017
    Changing Workplaces Review Final Report May 23, 2017 Dear Clients and Friends, Today, the Government of Ontario released the Changing Workplaces Review final report and recommendations, labeling it an “An Agenda for Workplace Rights”. Touted as the first independent review of the Employment Standards Act and Labour Relations Act in more than a generation, the review was commenced in February, 2015. For every Ontario employer, the recommended changes to the Employment Standards Act and Labour Relations Act are far reaching and will have significant impact. The government has undertaken to announce its formal response to the report in the coming days, and may be aiming to table draft legislation modeled on all, or part, of the recommendations prior to the Legislature rising for summer recess (June 1, 2017). If that occurs we could see legislation make its way into force by late Fall or early next year. Sherrard Kuzz LLP will review the report and government response and distribute a comprehensive briefing note, as we did following the release of the Interim Report (see Sherrard Kuzz LLP homepage). In the interim, to review the report click here, and the summary report click here. Sherrard Kuzz LLP is one of Canada’s leading employment and labour law firms, representing management. Firm members can be reached at 416.603.0700 (Main), 416.420.0738 (24 Hour) or by visiting www.sherrardkuzz.com.

  • Steps to Successful Implementation of Worker-To
    INTRODUCTION This handbook is provided to help UAW local unions plan and implement a Member to Member program. While we strongly recommend that those responsible for the success of their local union Member to Member program attend an in-person training, this handbook is designed to allow a local union to start their own program with confidence. The UAW’s Member to Member program has been a big part of our internal organizing strategy for many years. Its goal is to strengthen our union through strong member relationships and communication supported by a dedicated local union activist network system. When Member to Member is done right, we get more members engaged to help us succeed in our representational, political, and community work. This not only benefits us; it also benefits our family and friends, and supports our bigger goal of building power to win social, economic, and political justice for all. We know one-on-one conversations inspire unorganized workers to organize through sharing stories and understanding that worker solidarity solves work problems better than struggling alone. That tested organizing technique works well with current members too. Along with personal interactions, Member to Member uses social media to help us “walk the talk” that our members “are the union.” HOW DOES THE MEMBER TO MEMBER PROGRAM WORK? The Member to Member program uses Worksite Coordinators, Organizers and Communicators to create, build and sustain a communication and relationship-building network in each local union- represented worksite. A specific training is available for each union member playing a role in this program.

  • Temp Work at an All Time High
    National Employment Law Project National Employment Law Project For Immediate Release: September 2, 2014 Contact: Emma Stieglitz, [email protected], (646) 200-5307 Temp Work At An All Time High Rise of Temp Work, Staffing Agencies Ushers in Lower Wages, Dangerous Conditions for Workers, Report Says There are a record high 2.8 million temporary help jobs in today’s economy, making up 2 percent of total employment, according to a report released Tuesday by the National Employment Law Project. The report, Temped Out: How The Domestic Outsourcing of Blue-Collar Jobs Harms America’s Workers, examines the employment services industry, which includes temporary help agencies (also called staffing agencies), professional employer organizations and employment placement agencies. It finds that as a whole, the industry represents 2.5 percent of all jobs, up from 1.4 percent in 1990. More than 12 million people flowed into and out of a staffing agency in 2013 alone. America’s staffing industry has also shifted its reach to new sectors like manufacturing and warehousing. The use of third-party staffing agencies creates a layered employment structure that empowers the client-employers at the top and puts downward pressure on staffing agencies in the middle competing for contracts. Many of those agencies in turn keep costs low by cutting corners on pay and safety for workers. In fact, staffing workers' median hourly wages are 22 percent lower than wages of all private-sector workers. “The shift towards temp work is creating an economy in which working people who move and produce products for some of our nation’s largest and most profitable corporations are treated like any other input, to be acquired at the cheapest cost,” said Rebecca Smith, who co-authored the report.

  • Stages of Industrial Development and Poverty Impact Texas Univ., Austin
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 103 139 RC 008 351 AUTHOR Till, Thomas; Ant' Others TITLE Stages of Industrial Development and Poverty Impact in Nonmetropolitan Labor Markets of the South. INSTITUTION Texas Univ., Austin. Center for the Study of Human Resources. SPONS AGENCY Manpower Administration (DOL), Washington, D.C. PUB DATE Jan 75 NOTE 114p.; Some maps may reproduce poorly EDRS PRICE MF-$0.76 HC-$5.70 PLUS POSTAGE DESCRIPTORS Comparative Analysis; *Economically Disadvartaged; Economic Development; Employment Trends; *Industrialization; *Labor Market; Manpower Utilization; hanufacturing; Migration; Negroes; *Rural Areas; *Southern States; Tables (Data); Unions "DENTIFIERS Indiana ABSTRACT Using a developmental stages model, the extent and characteristics of manufacturing development in the nonaetropolitan South between 1940 and 1970 were examined. Focus was on whether industrialization comes in different phases and whether its impact on the rural poor varies during each phase. Nonmetro labor markets (counties more than 50 miles from the central city of a Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area--SMSA) of the South and Indiana were compared. Data were collected through:(1) statistical time-series (mainly the "Census of Manufactures" and the "Census of Population") and (2) field interviews. In each of six multicounty areas (selected because their nonfarm employment had either grown very rapidly in the 1960s or they had both "success" and stagnating counties) industrial development and antipoverty workers were interviewed in July and August 1974 on the process of industrial development and impact on the poor in their area. Some findings were:(1) distinct stages existed in industrial characteristics, poverty impact, immigration, and community industrial planning; (2) two phases of industrial development were low-wage and labor-intensive and medium-wage and less labor-intensive; and (3) the two phases of industrializatio, differed in poverty impact--a greater percentage of workers hired were poor in the first phase than in the second.

  • It's Complicated: Age, Gender, and Lifetime Discrimination Against
    BISOM-RAPP.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 6/19/2014 10:17 AM IT’S COMPLICATED: AGE, GENDER, AND LIFETIME DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WORKING WOMEN—THE UNITED STATES AND THE U.K. AS EXAMPLES Susan Bisom-Rapp Malcolm Sargeant This Article considers the effect on women of a lifetime of discrimination using material from both the U.S. and the U.K. Government reports in both countries make clear that women workers suffer from multiple disadvantages during their working lives, which result in significantly poorer outcomes in old age when compared to men. Indeed, the numbers are stark. In the United States, for example, the poverty rate of women 65 years old and up is nearly double that of their male counterparts. Older women of color are especially disadvantaged. The situation in the United Kingdom is comparable. To capture the phenomenon, the Article develops a model of Lifetime Disadvantage, which considers the major factors that on average produce unequal outcomes for working women at the end of their careers. One set of factors falls under the heading “Gender-based factors.” This category concerns phenomena directly connected to social or psychological aspects of gender, such as gender stereotyping and women’s traditionally greater roles in family caring activities. A second set of factors is titled “Incremental disadvantage factors.” While these factors are connected to gender, that connection is less overt, and the disadvantage they produce increases incrementally over time. The role of law and policy, in ameliorating or exacerbating women’s disadvantages, is considered in conjunction with each factor, revealing considerable incoherence and regulatory gaps.

  • In a Company, Payroll Is the Sum of All Financial Records of Salaries for an Employee, Wages, Bonuses and Deductions
    In a company, payroll is the sum of all financial records of salaries for an employee, wages, bonuses and deductions. In accounting, payroll refers to the amount paid to employees for services they provided during a certain period of time. Payroll plays a major role in a company for several reasons. From an accounting point of view, payroll is crucial because payroll and payroll taxes considerably affect the net income of most companies and they are subject to laws and regulations (e.g. in the US payroll is subject to federal and state regulations). From ethics in business viewpoint payroll is a critical department as employees are responsive to payroll errors and irregularities: good employee morale requires payroll to be paid timely and accurately. The primary mission of the payroll department is to ensure that all employees are paid accurately and timely with the correct withholdings and deductions, and to ensure the withholdings and deductions are remitted in a timely manner. This includes salary payments, tax withholdings, and deductions from a paycheck. Payroll taxes Government agencies at various levels require employers to withhold income taxes from employees' wages.[1] In the United States, "payroll taxes" are separate from income taxes, although they are levied on employers in proportion to salary; the programs they fund include Social Security, and Medicare. U.S. income and payroll taxes collected through deductions are considered to be trust fund taxes, because the employer holds the deducted money in trust for later remittance. [edit] Payroll Taxes in U.S. Before considering the payroll taxes we need to talk about the Basic Formula for the Net Pay.
