2024-02-15 13:00 - 14:00
Are you a newly multi-state employer or considering branching out into new locations for the first time? Join us as we examine key compliance issues for employers with a distributed workforce.
We’ll cover the basics as well as some not-so-basics of having employees in multiple states or splitting time between two or more locations. In particular, we’ll talk about employees handbooks and the different ways you can approach policies when state requirements differ. We’ll also review compliance best practices and equity issues on a high level.

Snowflake Regatta Warm-Up Party
2024-02-28 18:00 - 22:00
The public is invited to enjoy the camaraderie of fellow sailors, skiers, and townspeople as we launch the annual Snowflake Regatta—an event held for the benefit of the Sail Salem Scholarship Fund and dedicated to the memory of Brad White. We begin this celebration with the Snowflake Regatta Warm-Up Party at 6:00pm on Wednesday, February 28, at Finz Seafood & Grill, on Pickering Wharf in downtown Salem.
For those who venture North, the celebration will resume on March 16 at Cranmore Mountain in North Conway, New Hampshire, with ski races and fun for the whole family.
Racers of all ages and skill levels are welcome—boys, girls, men, and women. They may compete individually and as part of a team. Frequently, sailboat and powerboat racing teams compete as teams (and as individuals), as do some families. Handicaps are assigned based on age and sex.
Sail Salem, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, runs a community sailing program that conducts summer sailing camps with educational programs for children. Community support and generous donations have enabled us to introduce the sport of sailing to thousands of children from Salem and its surrounding North Shore towns. Scholarships and financial aid are available for these programs, helping us to ensure that no kid gets left on the dock. For more information, visit us at sailsalem.org

Communicating Across Four Workplace Generations
2024-03-20 13:00 - 14:00
Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z all communicate differently and sometimes don’t understand each other. Feedback is misinterpreted, people are quick to judge, and we’re stuck with labels like “boomer” and “snowflake.” What does it take to break free and connect with each other in the workplace on a human level? How can we listen, empathize, and truly engage with each other? The answer is by talking about it!
This entertaining discussion with four panelists, one from each age group, can help bridge the gap between generational communication expectations and blind spots. We will start with a real-time anonymous survey to uncover misconceptions, hear about the four communication styles, and discuss with our panelists how they prefer to communicate and receive feedback… and have fun in the process! This workshop is intended to be interactive, including an opportunity to network and welcomes active participation from attendees. Please register in advance and bring your generational communication challenges to share and discuss.
More information can be found on the Commonwealth Payroll & HR website.
