President’s Message by Valerie Dzbynski It seems that our monthly meetings topics occur just when I need them most! April’s meeting is on workplace wellness and after traveling for several weeks for work, eating unhealthy on-the-road food, putting lots of hours in on the job, and most importantly chasing a 3 year old around at home…… I am reminded that the focus on wellness should be top priority. I KNOW if I take better care of myself and exercise and eat right I will have more energy and be able to perform at the level necessary for high performance….why does that get forgotten? We need to be advocates for wellness and set the example for our employees in the Human Resources profession. So as I sit at my desk on a Monday morning…..drinking water and eating carrot sticks…. I plan my week and add time into my schedule to exercise and to prepare healthy meals. There is nothing like hitting a brick wall to make a change. Plus….The SHRM National Conference in Orlando is coming up….and I just found out Tim MCGraw is the Tuesday night show so I need to look my best! � Valerie �

Legal & Legislative Updates by Walt F. Lachenmayr, MBA, SPHR

Here are the highlights of some of the momentous changes in both Federal and Maryland employment laws during the past month:

National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) reissues proposed "ambush election" rule-The proposed rule reduces the time from petition to election for union representation from about 31 days to 10-11 days along with numerous other employer restrictions. The NLRB voted 3 to 2 in favor of this change with the Republican picks dissenting. Restricting Employees from Discussing Their Wages Now Illegal-The President amended Executive Order 11246 applicable to Federal Contractors prohibiting employers from restricting employees discussing their compensation with others. President Targets Minority and Women's Pay Gap- As a result, Federal Contractors will soon be required to submit compensation data applicable to minorities and women to the government. See the link for further information on both Presidential orders. Maryland Minimum Wage Act Passes- Effective January 1, 2015 the State minimum wage will be $10.10. The Fairness to All Marylanders Act- Effective October 1 Maryland employers with 15 or more employees are prohibited from discriminating against employees' based on gender identity regardless of the sex at birth. Policy issues arising from this include dress and appearance codes and access to restrooms. Maryland Decriminalizes Possession of Marijuana- Effective October 1 possession of small amounts of pot will be a civil instead of a criminal offense.

Best regards, Walt �
