Description:
There is rarely one topic that draws the ire and discomfort than that of compensation in the family and privately owned business. Are you paying your talent too much, or too little? Are you compensated accordingly and recognized regularly? How can you retain key employees while increasing shareholder value? What about the role of deferred comp, gifts, and dividends? Finally, what are my competitors paying and where are compensation trends leading?
A comprehensive approach to compensation requires constant attention to both your personnel and your business and how they relate to similar businesses in your industry and region.
This forum will focus on:

Notice to Trainees
WHY WE NEED YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
Act 192 of the 2008 Vermont Legislature requires employers and other training providers receiving support from the state to provide the social security number of each individual participating in the training to the department of state government supporting the training. The social security number will be used to gather wage information from the Department of Labor's files after you complete training, in order to evaluate the training program.
The Departments of Labor and Economic Development must provide information on the employment outcomes of training programs to the Legislature. Your information will be combined with information of other trainees to ensure your privacy and the privacy of your employer. The law requires the departments to keep your information confidential.
