Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Written by Enrique Esclusa, Co-Founder & Co-CEO, Assemble How do you decide what to pay an employee? This is a simple and important question with a complex answer. With a volatile labor market, global inflation, and the continued rise of distributed work, it has never been more difficult to answer this question. Traditionally, HR teams have primarily relied upon two sources of data to inform decisions: salary datasets, compiled and distributed by third-party consultants such as Radford and Mercer; and candidate data collected by recruiters asking prospective employees about their salary expectations. Now, advances in legislation and technology are changing the way companies think about and handle compensation. In many states such as California, it is now illegal to ask candidates about their salary. Additionally, the rise of pay transparency laws have open-sourced new insights about what organizations are … [Read more...] about Real-Time Market Compensation Data Is Not A Panacea

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline Billionaire GOP megadonor and onetime ally to former President Donald Trump Ronald Lauder, met with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis recently as the likely 2024 GOP presidential candidate pitches himself as the adult in the room to wealthy donors amid increasingly incendiary rhetoric from Trump. Key Facts Lauder met with DeSantis, who is widely expected to announce a run for president in early summer, at his Long Island estate several months ago, Politico reported , citing two unnamed sources familiar with the meeting. The reported meeting comes after Lauder—heir to Estée Lauder who has known Trump for decades and helped fund his 2020 reelection bid—said through a spokesperson in November that he will not donate to Trump’s 2024 campaign, though he did not say whom he would support in 2024 and did not comment to Politico on the recent DeSantis meeting.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin By Rachel Leland, Next Avenue As aging World War II veteran Johnnie Ray Toland started showing signs of Alzheimer's, his family began searching for an assisted living home to care for him. Staff members at one home introduced the family to Tammi Palasini. Palasini, who would later be sentenced to 20 years behind bars for various crimes, including fraud, convinced the Toland family to give her control of $340,000 of their funds. Aid and Assistance Scam In what is known as an "aid and assistance scam," Palasini falsely promised the Toland family that she would help diversify their father's assets to get beneath the threshold to qualify for VA benefits and earn a return on their investment. It wasn't until after Toland's death three years later that the family learned Palasini was a scam artist who had victimized them and their father. On the same day as Toland's funeral, a postal inspector contacted … [Read more...] about How Older Veterans Can Protect Themselves From Scam Artists

Richard Branson’s Virgin Orbit is letting go of almost its entire work force with the satellite launch company finding it difficult to secure funding three months after a failed mission. The company, headquartered in Long Beach, California, will cut 675 jobs, about 85% of its workforce, according to a Friday filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Earlier this month Virgin Orbit said that it was pausing all operations amid reports of possible job cuts. At the time the company confirmed that it was putting all work on hold, but didn’t say for how long. In January, a mission by Virgin Orbit to launch the first satellites into orbit from Europe failed after a rocket’s upper stage prematurely shut down. It was a setback in the United Kingdom which had hoped that the launch from Cornwall in southwest England would mark the beginning of more commercial opportunities for the U.K. space industry. The company said in February that an investigation … [Read more...] about Virgin Orbit collapse: Mass layoffs at Richard Branson’s satellite launch company after failed mission

After an early morning police raid, Chinese Christian refugees in Thailand now face imminent deportation back to China and persecution, human rights advocates told the Daily Caller News Foundation. Thai police are allegedly transporting the 63 members of the Shenzhen Holy Reformed Church, also known as the Mayflower Church, to Bangkok to be repatriated to the People’s Republic of China, Deana Brown , 68, founder of Freedom Seekers International, told the DCNF while in Thai custody. Along with church members, Thai police also arrested and confiscated the passports of Brown and fellow Texan, Stacy Nichols, 51, who’d both just arrived in Patayya, Thailand, for a week-long visit with the congregation on Thursday, Brown said. In October 2019, the Mayflower Church, led by Pastor Pan Yongguang, fled religious persecution at the hands of the CCP. After a vote, the church decided to resettle in Jeju Island, South Korea, where a travel visa would not be required for Chinese citizens, … [Read more...] about Over 60 Christian Dissidents Detained In Thailand Facing Imprisonment, Torture If Deported To China

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline A federal judge in Texas struck down a provision of the Affordable Care Act that required coverage for a range of preventive services—including for cancer screenings, medications and more—ruling the task force members tasked with enforcing those preventive services were unlawfully appointed. Key Facts U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor ruled preventive care recommendations made by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force do not have to be complied with, and blocked the federal government from enforcing the task force’s recommendations. The task force issues recommendations for preventive care services that insurers are then forced to cover, as dictated by the provisions of the Affordable Care Act, meaning the ruling means insurance companies will no longer be bound to cover the preventive services affected. Among the preventive services affected by O’Connor’s order are screenings for breast … [Read more...] about Judge Strikes Down Required Coverage Of Preventive Care—Cancer Screenings, Pregnancy, Medications And More

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) brushed off a question about whether the GOP would take any formal action in response to the Nashville school shooting on Thursday, echoing others in the party who have said legislation will not solve gun violence—a sentiment that has enraged Democratic lawmakers, as well as a substantial slice of the electorate. Key Facts McCarthy said, “I don’t think one piece of legislation solves this,” in response to a reporter’s question during an unrelated press conference on Thursday, adding, “We’ve got to deal with mental illness.” McCarthy on Wednesday, in his first comments on the shooting at a private Christian school that left three 9-year-olds and four adults dead, said lawmakers need to “see all the facts” before taking action. McCarthy’s statements parrot those made by other GOP members in recent days, including Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.), who said Monday, … [Read more...] about McCarthy Says Legislation Won’t Solve Gun Violence In Wake Of Nashville Shooting

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin In a way, tomorrow afternoon’s $1-million Florida Derby matters less to its heavy favorite Forte and to his storied Texan trainer Todd Pletcher than it does to the rest of the surprisingly beefy 12-horse field and their connections, some of whom are straining so hard to get up and over the points fence to gain an invite to the Kentucky Derby that we can almost hear their tack snapping apart. A signature, but nevertheless shocking, stat: With 90 Derby points going into tomorrow’s feature at Gulfstream, Forte carries almost double the number of points held by the rest of the field combined. His nearest competitor in this race in Derby points — Cyclone Mischief, currently the fourth-favorite at 8-1 in the morning line — has just fifteen. True, Derby points can be deceptive — as can be all curlicues of past performance, pedigree and current training status in handicapping — but as a general metric for the maturity and appetite of … [Read more...] about The 2023 Florida Derby: Nobody Can Take ‘Sure Thing’ Forte Down — Can They?

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The Federal Trade Commission often issues warnings for consumers about scams of all kinds. They are raising the alarm about phony treatments and cures for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, sending letters to the companies that advertise these fake products. We can understand why people who desperately want a cure for a disease that is currently not curable will look to the internet for promises. Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias create a long, sad, expensive journey for elders and their families. We address these every day at AgingParents.com, working with these families. No one wants to hear from doctors that there is no treatment to fix the disease and that no drug company has a cure. Denial leads folks to find a way to cope with the sad truth. Desperation for relief is an invitation to manufacturers who create false hope for those affected.
