Why Time to Hire is the Worst Recruiting Metric of Them All I've complained in the past about certain old school HR metrics that are still hanging around in our organizations even though they don't really matter (at best) or actually damage an organization (at worst). But many of us still diligently report on them regularly even though deep down we know they don't mean jack.

These new "shared responsibility" rules are effective as of January 1, 2014, and apply to all large employers, including non-profits and governmental entities. Read on to learn how to assess an employer's potential liability under the ACA. America's Most Complicated Form Is Updated On Friday March 8, 2013, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) rolled out a brand new version of the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification Form, revamping America's most complicated one page form into a two-page form. In the world of immigration compliance, the release of the new Form I-9 is spectacular news. It's not every day the government does something that affects every employer in America.
