Child Support: Federal vs State Law Compliance

To bring a national standard to child support withholding laws, the Federal government has enacted laws that require states to adopt certain rules when setting their own standards for implementing child support requirements. These requirements include deadlines for withholding and remitting payments, filing procedures, and penalties and fines for violations. Payroll departments must know both the federal laws and the state laws and must determine which one applies to the child support withholding order. In addition to these laws and regulations, the federal rules now require that a standard Income Withholding Order (IWO) be used for all child support withholding garnishments. 

In this webinar expert speaker Vicki Lambert will review this form and its requirements. And although the IWO can include all the information necessary to comply with the order, employers must familiarize themselves with both federal and state regulations to avoid penalties and liabilities. Withholding money for child support is not the only requirement that applies to providing for a child, medical support orders are required to be process by payroll as well. This webinar will give examples of calculating child support.

Construction Risk Management with Current Issues & Real Life Examples

Construction projects entail considerable risk. Profit margins are relatively low when compared to the investment made, and often estimates of cost can only be based on best guesses. Therefore, it is critical to manage and minimize the exposure to risk. Fortunately, there are several opportunities in the life of a project that allow for significant risk management . These opportunities start with the decision of whether or not to bid, and following through to the bidding, subcontracting, and management phases. In this webinar Expert Speaker Fritz Marth will explore the risk management strategies that can be employed at the various times, and in the various aspects, of a construction project.

Importance of Quality as Work Culture in Food & Pharmaceuticals Manufacturing

Good manufacturing practices, developed in the past 20 years, have introduced new hygienic rules that limit contamination by pathogenic and spoilage bacteria. Consumers are more aware of the quality and storage of meat and of the safety measures taken during its preparation. However, several criteria other than eating quality play an important role in meat acceptability, e.g., price of meat, attitudes and knowledge of consumers towards meat, and convenience in preparing meat.  “ It’s difficult to find anyone who says food safety is not important, but people don’t always realize that when you do good for food safety, you do good for the business ,” Hernandez said. … “ A strong food safety program and discipline provide benefits that go well beyond food safety. ” These are the key factor of Food Safety Standards: Food Safety is Good for Business Impact on Businesses & Study Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Point GMP In Food Industry Food Safety Is Good For Bus

This guidance was first issued in 1983, and the main points of focus remain consistent today, despite the number of years that have passed and the technology changes that have taken place. The guidance was revisited for its application to the medical device industry, as the first issuance addressed pharmaceuticals. In 1997, 21 CFR Part 11 was issued to address electronic records and signatures, as many laboratories and other FDA-regulated organizations began seeking ways to move into a paperless environment.
