In this episode, we look at earned wage access, background checks, DEI, employee compensation, data verification, HR practices, and screening. Topics include the importance of fair treatment, legal implications, technology in hiring, and the balance between human and AI capabilities in recruitment.
Key Takeaways:
Earned wage access programs offered by employers may be subject to the Truth in Lending Act, and users should be aware of the fees associated with these programs.
Companies should ensure the accuracy of background check data and be diligent in verifying information from reliable sources.
The elimination of DEI teams within organizations raises concerns about the commitment to diversity and inclusion efforts.
Employers should compensate employees for time spent on pre-shift COVID testing or other work-related activities.
Controversial screening practices such as pregnancy screening during hiring and the use of biometric data in AI-driven hiring processes raise concerns about privacy and informed consent.
Acquisitions in the HR tech space can provide integrated solutions for HR platforms, streamlining processes like payment processing and expense reimbursement.
