Who Is Responsible For Complying With Employment Laws And Regulations?
Both parties have some contractual obligations with respect to compliance but most of the work is handled by the PEO. Furthermore, the PEO provides the client with advice and help to meet its obligations. Examples of these laws at the federal level include: ADEA (Age Discrimination In Employment Act), FLMA (Family Leave & Medical Act); HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act), Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act), EPA (Equal Pay Act) and COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act). In addition, there are a myriad of state and local laws to understand and comply with.
