We will be sending out 2023 W-2's by January 31st. Please remind current and former employees to call us with any address changes no later than January 10th if the address on their check or check stub is out of date. Their W-2 will be mailed even if their paycheck stub is not unless they signed up for electronic delivery (this year or in a previous year), then it will be delivered electronically. Employees only have until January 4th to sign up for e-delivery (directions they received are here).

The new year is a perfect time to review and refresh your required employment posters. Click below to see what is required and here's a link to print any that you are missing.

Lack of guardrails on open-sided platforms is OSHA's most commonly cited violation. Share this pertinent, preventive information at your monthly safety meeting. 

Last month, the Kaya HR team continued our tradition of adopting a local family for the holidays from the Christmas Family Adoption Foundation and we wanted to share our experience! 

We had registered previously so it was quick and easy to use their site to select a family--this year one with two boys and a single parent. All eight of us signed up to donate a variety of household items, clothes, toys and treats as suggested on their wish lists. We were able to include our own families in the purchasing and wrapping of the gifts, then Heidi paid a visit to our adopted family on December 22nd to drop off the present haul. They were excited and it was rewarding to see the impact our gifts made.

Federal and Oregon OSHA record keeping rules require most employers to prepare, maintain and post records of their occupational injuries and illnesses using the OSHA 300 log. Some employers (those with ten or fewer employees and those in certain low-hazard industries) are exempt from this requirement. If you are not exempt, we will prepare your 2023 OSHA 300 log and provide it to you for posting during the required timeframe (February 1 through April 30 each year). If you have questions, give us a call!
