HR Compliance Made Easy With the Right Combination of Tools and Advice
Tuesday, November 03, 2009

KPA and Ford & Harrison LLP have formed an alliance to offer nationwide HR advice for auto, truck and equipment dealers, through KPA's HotlinkHR(TM), a total HR compliance solution.

LAFAYETTE, Colo., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- HR compliance can be time consuming and difficult. HR advice can be expensive and there are few legal firms that specialize in the unique needs of auto, truck, and equipment dealers. Yet non-compliance with state and federal HR regulations all but guarantees costly fines and employment litigation. The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) reports that there has been an exponential increase in employment related lawsuits in the last ten years. According to SHRM companies are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on legal fees. HotlinkHR(TM) simplifies the HR compliance process and reduces the risk of litigation through a combination of forced compliance through automation and on demand HR advice.

HotlinkHR(TM) includes HR advice by phone or by email. The request is routed to one of two of the nation's leading law firms with experience in the auto, truck and equipment dealer market, Fine, Boggs and Perkins LLP, and now Ford & Harrison LLP. Ford & Harrison is a labor and employment law firm with a national practice in all aspects of labor and employment law. More than 200 labor and employment lawyers in 18 offices across the country strive to provide clients with sound legal advice, practical counseling and excellent client service. Chambers USA 2009 ranked Ford & Harrison LLP, as one of the top labor and employment firms nationally.

"We are elated to partner with Ford & Harrison to offer our clients access to one of the foremost labor and employment firms in the country through HotlinkHR(TM)," said Vane Clayton, President and CEO, KPA. "Having not one but two law firms for on-demand HR advice increases the level of expertise available to clients. Ford & Harrison has more than 25 years of experience working with dealerships and many of the attorneys are members of the National Association of Dealer Counsel."

Jim Hendricks, a partner with Ford & Harrison LLP in Chicago, and recently named one of the Top 100 Labor Attorneys in the United States for 2009 by the Labor Relations Institute, Inc. adds, "The HotlinkHR(TM) system's ability to force HR compliance through automation can significantly reduce the risk of employment related litigation for clients."

A free recorded webinar on the Essential of Wage and Hour Law for Dealerships presented by Jim Hendricks is available on the KPA website. The webinar is part of KPA's EHS and HR monthly compliance webinar series. To register for any of KPA's webinars go to http://www.kpaonline.com/webinars.
