Religious Discrimination Issues

A U.S.A. federal law known as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 guarantees that U.S. employers which are established as religious organizations may discriminate on a religious basis when hiring and making personnel decisions.

Updates on COBRA Continuation Coverage

The enactment into law of:
HR 1, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, (ARRA)
implements new temporary procedures for employers relating to the administration of Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) benefits.

This new law provides for a nine-month subsidy of COBRA premiums for employees who are involuntarily terminated. The new law, which became effective with the first monthly period of COBRA coverage beginning on or after February 17, 2009 (for most plans, this means March 1, 2009) also subjects employers and insurers to additional administrative, notice and reporting requirements. During this webinar we will explain the new law and the steps school employers should be taking now to ensure compliance.
