Is a staffing employer required to immediately pay final earned wages to a temporary employee whose assignment ends as a result of their being terminated by a client employer but where the temporary employee remains an employee of the staffing agency?  No, held a California Court of Appeal in the recent case of Young v. REMX Specialty Staffing No. A165081, 2023 WL 3331378, at *1 (Cal. Ct. App. May 10, 2023).

To assist employees in making informed healthcare decisions and employers in providing employees with the required notice of their rights, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) has issued revised model COBRA notices reflecting COBRA’s interaction with Medicare.  

On January 31, 2020, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which operates under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), announced and made available a new version of Form I-9 (Rev. 10/21/2019), Employment Eligibility Verification.  Employers may begin using the new form as of January 31, 2020 but must use this form exclusively no later than May 1, 2020 for all new employees or where any reverification applies.  The previous version,  which has a revision date of “Rev. 07/17/2017 N,” will be invalid as of April 30, 2020. After April 30, 2020, employers who fail to use the new Form I-9 may be subject to penalties under the Immigration and Nationality Act.
