A security interest that was a perfected security interest by filing under the old rules remains a perfected security interest under the transition rules until it would have ceased to be effective had the amendments not taken effect.  We note, however, that if a secured party wishes to continue the effectiveness of a financing statement after July 1, 2013 by filing a continuation statement, the financing statement must then satisfy the requirements of the amendments for an initial financing statement in order to be effective. If not, the secured party must amend the financing statement.\n\nIf you have any questions regarding how the amendments might impact your business or how you should update your practices or procedures, contact:\n<a title=\"Michael R.

(1835, 4, '2014-04-21 19:29:32', '2014-04-21 19:29:32', 'Nurturing and growing a cohesive staff is crucial to running a functional school or center. Developing your staff and growing from within or hiring in new blood and bringing in new ideas can both enhance the quality of your program.\n\nFinding new staff sometimes leads growing centers to secondary educators - community colleges and other similar institutions - for \"farm team talent.\"  These new ECE teachers, at times, need hours in a classroom in the same way as public teachers regulated by the Department of Education.  Allowing those ECE teachers access to your classroom to apprentice and learn the trade of ECE becomes both appealing and attractive to ECE teachers and centers.  As allowing these ECE teachers access to a classroom feels like service to the profession and not a new hire, these teachers often go unpaid.\n\nEnter the Federal Department of Labor. The Federal Department of Labor regulates minimum wage and overtime. They expect you to pay all \"employees\" minimum wage. But, the definition of \"employee\" can be more difficult to agree upon than it initially seems.\n\nIn evaluating whether a teacher is an employee who must be paid, or an intern who can work for free, questions need to be answered.  In particular, consider the following:\n<ul>\n	<li>What exactly your interns do for you?  Are they merely in training or do they actually perform services similar to other employees?</li>\n	<li>Are there people classified as employees who perform the same services as the interns?</li>\n	<li>Is the company\'s administrative burden increased as a result of having interns (i.e., is there a lot more paperwork and training time)?</li>\n	<li>Does the company receive client fees or other compensation as a result of the interns\' services?  For instance, do the interns lead groups for which the company receives client fees, or are the interns merely sitting in on groups led by paid employees?</li>\n	<li>What is the format of the training?  Do you provide specific lessons and/or classes to the interns?</li>\n	<li>Who benefits more from the interns\' services – the interns or the company?</li>\n	<li>Do you have written documentation explaining that the interns will not receive compensation and are not entitled to a job at the end of the training period?</li>\n	<li>When the interns are performing services for the company, how closely are they supervised?  Is it more than the regular employees or about the same?</li>\n</ul>\nIn <em>Reich v. Parker,</em> 992 F.2d 1027 (10th Cir. 1993), the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals (the court of appeals that sits over the Colorado Federal trial court and under the U.S. Supreme Court), stated that if all six of the following criteria apply, the trainees are not employees within the meaning of the Act and are not, therefore, entitled to minimum wage and overtime:\n<ul>\n	<li>The training, even though it includes actual operation of the facilities of the employer, is similar to that which would be given in a vocational school;</li>\n	<li>The training is for the benefit of the trainee;</li>\n	<li>The trainees do not displace regular employees, but work under close observation;</li>\n	<li>The employer that provides the training derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the trainees and on occasion his operations may actually be impeded;</li>\n	<li>The trainees are not necessarily entitled to a job at the completion of the training period; and,</li>\n	<li>The employer and the trainees understand that the trainees are not entitled to wages for the time spent in training.</li>\n</ul>\nIf these factors can be met, interning ECE teachers may actually be exempt from the DOL\'s requirements that all employees be paid minimum wage. To avoid liability for the practice of using interns, consider using an \"intern agreement\" that clearly states that no compensation will be paid. Also, partner closely with a school for school credit - if a trainee can earn even a small amount of credit, then the training is for the benefit of the trainee. Lastly, those employees cannot be used to meet ratio or other staffing requirements.\n\n<em><a title=\"Laura J.

What is your understanding of mandatory reporter laws?  In some ways the answer is less important than the potential employee\'s demeanor when responding.  You can train around a lack of knowledge but if your intuition is telling you that this person is unsafe, question whether that can be fixed.</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n	<li>Physical abuse\n<ul>\n	<li>Adopt a zero tolerance policy on corporal punishment.</li>\n	<li>Consider your \"stop gap\" policies. How do you support teachers \"on the brink?\" Do you have a culture where employees support each other if they are tired, stressed or being worked over by a 2 year old?  What kind of breaks do you allow for teachers who just need, as I like to call them, a \"fake smoke break\" for a deep breath outside.</li>\n	<li>How do you assess whether a potential employee is appropriately suited for a particular age group?  Different people have different reactions to different age groups and frustration can lead to bad judgment.</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n	<li>Reporting issues\n<ul>\n	<li>Partner with your county and with licensing for training, as they are able to participate.</li>\n	<li>Do everything you can to create a \"culture of reporting.\"</li>\n	<li>Report any incident of abuse, neglect or maltreatment to the appropriate agencies.</li>\n	<li>Ensure that employees understand that they are mandatory reports, and must report any claims of abuse, neglect or maltreatment to the county or law enforcement officials <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">directly</span>;

(1837, 4, '2014-04-21 19:29:32', '2014-04-21 19:29:32', '<address>By <a title=\"Laura J. Hazen\" href=\"http://www.irelandstapleton.com/people/attorneys/bio?id=43&amp;name=Laura%20J.%20Hazen\" target=\"_blank\">Laura J. Hazen</a> and <a title=\"Michelle B. Ferguson\" href=\"http://www.irelandstapleton.com/people/attorneys/bio?id=40&amp;name=Michelle%20B.%20Ferguson\" target=\"_blank\">Michelle B. Ferguson</a> </address>Child care centers are on the Federal Department of Labor\'s (\"DOL\") radar screen.  As a result, all child care centers would be wise to take a minute to evaluate their wage and hour policies and their job descriptions for compliance with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (\"FLSA\"). The FLSA is the federal statute that regulates payment of overtime and minimum wage. A common misconception is that employees who are paid a \"salary\" rather than an \"hourly\" wage, are exempt from the overtime requirements of the FLSA. Unfortunately, that is not true. To qualify as an \"exempt\" employee under the FLSA, an employee must fall into one of several classifications, and be paid a statutory minimum of $455 per week. If the employee does not meet all the requirements for classification as an \"exempt\" employee, the employee will be entitled to overtime.\n\nAn employee who is misclassified as \"exempt\" may recover back wages for a two or three-year period (depending on whether the violation is willful) and an amount equal to the back wages as liquidated damages, i.e. a penalty. Employees who prevail on a FLSA claim may be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys\' fees and costs as well. Employers who misclassify employees as \"exempt\" may be subject to significant penalties in addition to back wages. For example, willful violators of the FLSA may be prosecuted criminally and fined up to $10,000 per violation. A second willful conviction could result in six months imprisonment. DOL also may assess civil penalties up to $1,000 per violation for repeated or willful violations of the FLSA.\n\nGiven the significant cost involved should an individual be misclassified, and the increase of audits by the DOL targeting child care centers, each center should conduct an audit. An audit of wage policies should include a review of position descriptions and of the following issues:\n\n<em><strong>Teachers</strong></em>. The FLSA provides for the classification of \"teachers\" as \"exempt\" employees. That means that employees who meet the requirements for classification as a \"teacher\" under the FLSA need not be paid overtime, if they are paid a minimum of $455 each week. Unfortunately, the title of \"teacher\" is narrowly defined by the FLSA and interpreting regulations and opinion letters.\n\nWhether or not an individual meets the statutory definition of \"teacher\" seems to turn on which agency licenses the employee. If the center is licensed by a division of the Department of Health and Human Services, and not licensed by the Department of Education, then the DOL has taken the position that such individuals are not \"teachers\" for purposes of the FLSA. See Wage and Hour Division opinion letter FLSA2008-13NA, dated September 29, 2008. The September 2008 opinion letter states that \"[u]nless the daycare center provides grade school curriculums, introductory programs in kindergarten, or nursery school programs in elementary education of the sort described in § 541.204(b), as determined under state law, the instructors are not within the scope of the teacher exemption of the FLSA.\" Similarly, in an earlier opinion letter, dated September 20, 2000, the DOL concluded that \"it is our opinion that while \'childhood education settings\' (for ages 0-5) commonly referred to as preschools, may engage in some basic educational activities for the children attending, preschool employees whose primary duty is to protect and care for the needs of the children would not ordinarily meet the requirements for exemption as teachers.\" See also, April 24, 1999 DOL opinion, Wage and Hour Division (emphasis added).\n\n<em><strong>Payment for Training</strong></em>. Whether a child care center needs to pay its employees for time spent in required training is a hot issue, to say the least. Colorado Group Child Care Regulation 7.702.43 requires centers to have a staff development plan that includes a minimum of fifteen (15) clock hours of training each year for all staff. 29 CFR § 785.27 requires that employers include mandatory clock hours of training in the computation of total hours worked, for calculation of overtime and minimum wage.\n\nThis regulation begs the question: Who is requiring the 15 clock hours of training? Is this state-required training or training required by the child care center? The relevance of this distinction becomes clear when the Department of Labor opinion letters are reviewed.\n\nThe first opinion letter on this issue that we located is dated September 9, 1996. (It is important to remember that the opinion letters crafted by the Department of Labor could be related to any state\'s regulations and do not necessarily reflect the language in Colorado’s regulations.) Colorado\'s regulations are particularly stringent, and also are subject to review in 2010. In the September 1996 opinion letter, the DOL addressed the application of 29 CFR § 785.27 to training required by State regulations. The DOL found that time spent in training programs need not be counted as hours of work if all of the four criteria are met:\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n	<li>Attendance is outside of the employee\'s regular work hours;</li>\n	<li>Attendance is voluntary;</li>\n	<li>Training is not directly related to the employee\'s job; and</li>\n	<li>The employee performs no productive work during attendance.</li>\n</ul>\n</ul>\n</ul>\n<span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: \'Helvetica Neue\', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">The DOL admitted that the first requirement was fact-based. The DOL opined that state-mandated training is voluntary if the employer does not include additional requirements. But, the DOL also said \"[i]t is a different situation, however, where a State requires employers to provide training as a condition of the employer\'s license to remain open for business – e.g. a day care center operator\'s license is conditional on all employees receiving a fixed number of hours of child care training each year. As the operator would typically require employees to attend such training, it would not be voluntary and</span>\n\nthis criteria would not be met.\" What does this sentence mean? Does it mean that an employer must pay for 15 hours of training if a particular training is required on a particular day? What if an employer provides modules that an employee may choose at their leisure, and also allows for other training, at an employee\'s discretion?\n\nA conservative reading of this text would suggest that the first 15 hours of training should be paid, if those 15 hours are counted by the employer to satisfy the regulatory requirement. This is also the interpretation given by DOL investigators involved in child care audits. That said, there remains an argument for those who would like to challenge the wording and characterize the 15 hours of training as state required and not employer required. The Colorado regulation requires employers to have a plan for provision of the 15 hours of clock training, but does not mirror the language of the DOL opinion letters that seem to suggest that the employer is actually providing the training. This distinction – between trainings offered by an employer and an independent provider – is echoed by a September 10, 1998, DOL opinion letter. This distinction begs yet another question: Does this distinction punish the helpful employer who offers training, by requiring that employees be paid for that time spent in training, while allowing another employer, who does not offer training and make the 15 hours of training convenient for staff, is not required to compensate employees for the hours spent in training?\n\nA third opinion letter, dated January 7, 2009 (FLSA2009-1), clarifies that the location of the training is irrelevant to the requirement that training be paid. It states \"…it is our opinion that the time spent by employees voluntarily attending in-service training or continuing education required by the state and provided at your client\'s day care center is not hours worked under the FLSA. This is true even if the state requires that individuals may only be employed by the employer if they meet the in-service or continuing education requirements, so long as the State does not require the employer to provide the training.\"\n\nFor further guidance, we recommend centers review the information provided in the DOL U.S. Wage and Hour Division Fact Sheet #46 (Daycare Centers and Preschools Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)).', 'Child Care Providers and the Fair Labor Standards Act ', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '322-revision-v1', '', '', '2014-04-21 19:29:32', '2014-04-21 19:29:32', '', 322, 'http://berchman.net/irelandstapleton/322-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

Hazen\" href=\"http://www.irelandstapleton.com/people/attorneys/bio?id=43&amp;name=Laura%20J.%20Hazen\" target=\"_blank\">Laura J. Hazen</a>\n\nWell, the day rumored to be coming is here. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced guidelines regarding enforcement priorities. The target: employers.\n\nSenior Policy Analyst Michele Wilson of the Immigration Policy Center (IPC) stated, \"The newly announced guidelines will focus on criminal prosecution of employers who knowingly hire unauthorized workers.... The new guidelines emphasize investigating and criminally prosecuting abusive employers thereby honing in on one of the root causes of undocumented immigration.\"\n\nWhile many are calling for additional reform to the immigration system - on a family immigration level as well as calling for guidance for employers - we must live with the regulations we have today. What does that mean? Well, I am advising employers to do two things: Conduct a proactive audit of your I-9 forms, and jump quickly when you receive a no-match letter.\n\n<strong>I-9s.</strong> Assign a task force to review your I-9 forms and confirm that they are completed according to the regulations. Are you using the current form?  (It\'s found at: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-9.pdf ). Are they organized and kept apart from other documents? Are they completed appropriately (fines for administrative violations, even for small mistakes, add up quickly)? Do you have an audit plan, if ICE asks to see records? Do you have a document retention / destruction plan?  Do you ask appropriate interview questions?\n\nEducating yourself in advance is a must in this area. Know your rights and obligations and avoid confusion and chaos (and allegations of non-compliance, as fear can lead even the most compliant employers to run afoul of the regulations).\n\n<strong>No Match Letter</strong>. In some ways, it may be inevitable. Someday you are likely to receive a no match letter. Whether it is because your employee is a John Jones, Jr. and his records are mixed up with another or because you have inadvertently hired an employee with false paperwork, you may someday hear from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).\n\nAs the ICE website explains: \"Every year, the Social Security Administration (SSA) informs thousands of employers via a \"no-match\" letter that certain employees\' names and corresponding Social Security numbers provided on Forms W-2 do not match SSA\'s records. Out of approximately 250 million wage reports the SSA receives each year, as many as four percent belong to employees whose names and corresponding Social Security numbers do not match SSA\'s records.\"\n\nWhat should you look for during your audit? The following is a list of common technical mistakes:\n<ul>\n	<li>Use of the Spanish version of the Form I-9 except in Puerto Rico</li>\n	<li>Failure to use current version of Form I-9 at the time of hire</li>\n	<li>Employee\'s maiden name, address or birth date missing in Section</li>\n	<li>No alien registration number next to the phrase in Section 1, \"A Lawful Permanent Resident\" where the number is in Sections 2 or 3 of the Form I-9 (or on a document retained with the Form I-9 and presented at the Form I-9 inspection)</li>\n	<li>No alien registration number or admission number next to the phrase in Section 1, \"An alien authorized to work until\" where the number is in Sections 2 or 3 of the Form I-9 (or on a document retained with the Form I-9 and presented at the Form I-9 inspection)</li>\n	<li>Employee attestation date missing in Section 1</li>\n	<li>Employee attestation not completed at the time of hire in Section 1</li>\n	<li>Name, address or signature of the preparer and/or translator missing in Section 1</li>\n	<li>No date in the preparer and/or translator certification box in Section 1</li>\n	<li>No document identification number of a List A, B or C document in Section 2 where a copy of document(s) is retained with the Form I-9 and presented at the Form I-9 inspection</li>\n	<li>No document expiration date of a List A, B or C document where a copy of document(s) is retained with the Form I-9 and presented at the Form I-9 inspection</li>\n	<li>Failure to state \"Individual under age 18\" in Column B, for employees under the age of 18 that used only List C documents</li>\n	<li>Failure to state \"Special Placement\" in Column B, for employees with a disability using only a List C document</li>\n	<li>Business name or address missing in Section 2</li>\n	<li>Date employment begins missing in Section</li>\n	<li>Employer\'s or authorized representative\'s title missing in Section</li>\n	<li>No employer attestation date in Section 2</li>\n	<li>Employer attestation in Section 2 not completed within 3 business days of hire.
