Answer 1

Impacts of compensational programs development and the effects of laws on compensational programs Various issues that influence individuals' decision to apply and accept a particular job.

In the field of benefits, there's a continuing trend toward legislation to protect employees' investment in their benefits. More than ever, it's necessary for employers and human resources professionals to know what federal law requires.

Legally required employee benefit programs include:

• Social Security
• Unemployment Insurance
• Workers' Compensation

Benefits administrators must be up to date on state and federal regulations regarding the latter two programs.

There are also three new federal acts that affect how employers administer their health and medical programs:

• Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA or ACA for short)

• The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

• The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA)

• The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)

The legal environment continues to become more structured and demanding for the organization. While the basic laws in compensation were a result of the depression years, the new legislation is a function of the demands for social justice of the past 30 years. Except for the prevailing wage laws most of the laws deal with how wages or benefits are granted and not with the amount of the wages themselves.
