🎄 Day 4 of the 12 days of Compliance-mas: Update PTO policies and make sure they're compliant with Nevada law 🎄 Don’t let your PTO policies become a Festivus grievance! Here’s what Nevada employers need to know: - Mandatory PTO for larger employers: If you have 50+ employees, Nevada law requires accrual of at least 0.01923 hours of PTO per hour worked (~1 week per year). Employees begin using leave after 90 days, and unused PTO must carry over, but you can cap carryover at 40 hours annually. - Payout at separation is optional—but be consistent: Nevada does not require payout of unused PTO on separation unless your policy explicitly promises it. If your handbook says you'll pay out accrued time, you must follow through—and courts in Nevada will enforce that. - Rehire reinstatement rule: If a terminated employee is rehired within 90 days through no fault of their own, you must reinstate their unused PTO. ✅ Action steps: 1. Confirm your company meets Nevada’s PTO accrual and cap requirements. 2. Review your separation policy: does your handbook promise payout? If so, ensure it’s accurately and uniformly applied. 3. Revise your PTO policies and consider adding a rehire clause aligning with the 90-day reinstatement requirement. 📘 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/g3z_6XFC Clear policies = compliant practices and happier employees. #EmploymentLaw #HRCompliance #NevadaLaw #12DaysOfEmploymentLaw

Year-end is more than wrapping up projects- it’s a crucial time to review your HR compliance, holiday pay, and employee entitlements before January hits. At Nimbus HR Solutions Group, we see the same challenges every December. To help employers close the year strong, here are the key Do’s & Don’ts to keep top of mind: ✔️ Get Ahead of Holiday Pay & Scheduling Stat holidays like Christmas, Boxing Day, and New Year’s require precise ESA calculations. Confirm December vacation requests early to avoid staffing gaps. ✔️ Reconcile Vacation Pay & Entitlements Before December 31, review vacation time earned, taken, and accrued — and handle unused vacation according to policy and ESA rules. ❌ Avoid Late-Year Terminations Unless absolutely necessary, avoid terminations after Nov. 15. If unavoidable, ensure ESA notice, severance, and benefit continuation are handled correctly. ❌ Never Terminate on Fridays or Before Holidays Employees need immediate access to support- timing matters. A smoother January starts with proactive planning today. Nimbus HR Solutions Group is here to help employers navigate year-end with clarity and confidence. #NimbusHRSolutions #HRConsulting #YearEndChecklist #EmployerGuide #CanadianBusiness #HRCompliance #HolidayHR

As we close out the year, HR teams everywhere are juggling open enrollment wrap‑ups, compliance deadlines, and the final push to get employees what they need before January hits. A few smart reminders now can save hours of cleanup later — and set everyone up for a smoother start to 2026. Here are six end‑of‑year reminders every HR team should be sending: ▪️ Update personal information: Encourage employees to confirm their address, emergency contacts, tax withholdings, and direct deposit details. Small updates now prevent big headaches during W‑2 season. ▪️ Review PTO balances: Whether your company has “use‑it‑or‑lose‑it,” rollover caps, or cash‑out options, clarity helps employees plan — and helps HR avoid January disputes. ▪️ Submit outstanding expenses: End‑of‑year expense reports often pile up. A quick reminder keeps budgets accurate and prevents delays in reimbursement. ▪️ Check benefits elections: Employees should confirm that their health, FSA/HSA, and voluntary benefit choices are correct before the new plan year begins. ▪️ Complete required trainings: Compliance training deadlines sneak up fast. A final nudge ensures your organization stays audit‑ready. ▪️ Review performance goals: Encourage employees and managers to close the loop on goals, document achievements, and prepare for performance conversations in the new year. Why this matters: A proactive communication strategy doesn’t just save HR time — it builds trust, reduces confusion, and helps employees feel supported during one of the busiest seasons of the year. If you’re looking to streamline your HR operations in 2026, start with consistent reminders, clear expectations, and tools that make self‑service easy. Need help?

States to Watch: Leave of Absence Laws Are Changing (Again) As we head into 2026, more states are enacting or expanding leave laws, creating new compliance obligations for employers—especially those with multi-state workforces. 📍 Key states to keep on your radar include: • Minnesota • Delaware • Maryland • Maine • Connecticut • New York • Colorado • California • Washington • Oregon • Rhode Island • Alaska These updates span Paid Family & Medical Leave (PFML), paid sick leave expansions, contribution changes, benefit increases, and broader eligibility definitions and the effective dates don’t always align neatly with calendar years. For HR and operations teams already stretched thin, keeping up with: ✔️ State-specific rules ✔️ Notice and documentation requirements ✔️ Coordination with payroll, benefits, and carriers ✔️ Employee communications …can quickly become overwhelming. This is where having a dedicated Leave of Absence (LOA) team matters. Our LOA specialists help employers: • Navigate state and federal leave requirements • Manage complex, multi-state leave scenarios • Ensure compliance while reducing administrative burden • Provide a better, more consistent experience for employees during critical life events Whether you’re reacting to a new law or trying to get ahead of what’s coming, you don’t have to do it alone.
