BLR's HR Hero® expands its topic coverage to include voting leave and reimbursements in response to the growing number of state regulations in these areas. Additionally, the coverage on retirement savings and pension plans was expanded from federal-only coverage to include state regulations due to the increasing number of states enacting retirement benefit mandates. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) coverage now includes more states with tip pooling policies and deductions in pay.
BRENTWOOD, Tenn., July 28, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Business & Learning Resources (BLR), a leading provider of business training and compliance solutions, is pleased to announce the expansion of topic areas covered in its flagship HR product, HR Hero®.

In addition to the new topics, HR Hero expanded coverage of existing areas, including retirement savings, pension plans, the FLSA, deductions in pay, and paychecks.
