Navigating Employee Substance Abuse: Compassion, Compliance, and Confidentiality

by Levelup-Login • 12 September 2024

Picture this: one of your employees informs you they need to take time off for inpatient drug rehabilitation. What would your first response be? For many business owners, initial reactions include feelings of anger, disappointment, or even betrayal. You might wonder how you missed the signs, or question whether this employee is someone you want on your team. These reactions, while understandable, are often driven by misconceptions about addiction and how to handle these situations from both a legal and human standpoint. The truth is, addiction is a medical condition, and it’s crucial to handle employee substance abuse cases with both compassion and compliance. Mishandling the situation can not only harm the employee but also lead to legal issues for your business. Here’s a comprehensive guide for small to midsized business owners on how to approach this delicate topic and ensure you’re protecting both your employees and your company.

Mastering Healthcare Costs: How HRAs and LevelUp Pros Can Help Small Businesses Thrive

by Levelup-Login • 28 August 2024

In today’s competitive business landscape, managing rising healthcare costs is a challenge for many small businesses. With the cost of providing health benefits continuing to climb, small business owners often feel like they’re stuck between a rock and a hard place—trying to balance the need to attract and retain top talent with the pressure of maintaining a sustainable budget. One powerful tool that can help small businesses regain control over these escalating costs is the Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA). At LevelUp Pros, we have a proven track record of helping small businesses save over $1 million by leveraging creative strategies that not only cut costs but often improve benefits. Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that the best solutions are those that offer a win-win for both employers and employees.

The Costly Mistake of Delaying Payday: What Every California Business Owner Should Know

by Levelup-Login • 23 August 2024

Imagine this: payday is every Friday, but you’re planning a long weekend. You think, “I’ll just process payroll on Monday instead.” You even check with your employees, and they all say they don’t mind the delay. No problem, right? Wrong. This could be one of the most expensive mistakes you can make as a business owner. In California, once you establish a payday, you must stick with it. Employees cannot waive their right to timely pay, even if they agree to it. Whether you’re on vacation, out sick, or dealing with any other reason, your obligation to pay employees on time—specifically on their regularly scheduled payday—remains. Even if your employees seem okay with a late paycheck, delaying payment in California violates timely pay laws, and the consequences can be costly. The penalties depend on several factors, including whether the delay was accidental or intentional, whether it’s a repeat offense, how long the employee had to wait, and whether they are still employed. For a first-time accidental violation, penalties typically start at $100 per employee. If it happens again, or if the violation was intentional, the penalties increase and include a percentage of what’s owed. The costs skyrocket if an employee has left the company and hasn’t been paid according to the final paycheck timelines. In such cases, you could owe them their average daily rate of pay for every day they had to wait, up to a maximum of 30 days. This applies to both late payments and underpayments and includes weekends and holidays. Ensuring employees are paid accurately and on time is crucial. At LevelUp Pros, we help our clients standardize their payroll processes, comply with state labor laws, and ensure timely payments. If you’ve underpaid or paid someone late in the past, we can evaluate your process, calculate any penalties, and help you minimize liability. If you’d like an audit or review of your current payroll system, feel free to reach out to us at LevelUp Pros. We’ll help you identify red flags, improve efficiency, and ensure your employees are happy, all while reducing liability for your company. Consider us your go-to resource for payroll, HR, and benefits.
