HRANSWERSNOWTM From CCH Provides Expert Solutions To Common HR Questions
(RIVERWOODS, ILL., March 21, 2002) – Now there’s a way for
human resource professionals in small and medium-sized organizations
to find the answers they need to do their jobs without incurring hefty
bills for outside consultants or lawyers and without engaging in hours
of tedious legal research. HRAnswersNowTM from CCH
INCORPORATED (CCH), a leading provider of human resources and
employment law information and software, provides expert HR guidance
in an easy-to-use format over the Internet.
HRAnswersNow is designed especially to help those with HR
responsibility in small and medium-sized firms.
"This is where you often find one person charged with a wide
range of HR tasks, from writing job descriptions to explaining the
401(k) plan," said Tanya Rose, marketing manager for CCH’s
human resources group. "Someone in that situation can’t spend
all day researching questions and can’t afford to pay outside
experts for advice on every new issue that comes up," she added.
HRAnswersNow guides users to the solutions they seek in an easy
to navigate, question-and-answer style. Someone who needs to know
whether some garnishments have priority over others would simply click
on "Payroll deductions, garnishment and child support" on
the main topical menu. Up pops a series of questions, including
"What if there are multiple garnishments or wage assignments
against an employee’s wages?" Clicking on that selection brings
up the easy-to-understand answer.
Fast, Expert Answers On Issues that Matter Most
HRAnswersNow covers the issues that matter most to HR
professionals in small and medium-sized organizations on a day-to-day
basis – topics such as recordkeeping, staffing, compensation,
benefits, employee development, employee relations, discrimination and
workplace safety. From the requirements of COBRA to writing job
descriptions to HR’s role in mergers and acquisitions, HRAnswersNow
focuses on what the professional needs to know and do to comply with
legal requirements and contribute to the effectiveness of the
enterprise.
HR executives and generalists will both find that HRAnswersNow
speeds their workflow, with dozens of forms, checklists and other
tools ready to customize and use.
