Employers Face Greater Employment Immigration Scrutiny:Beware of Little Mistakes That Cost You Big!
Immigration regulation is currently a hot and controversial topic these days, and the government is reacting with additional scrutiny of employment practices. Whether you are a large employer or a small family-owned business, you are required to comply with the federal immigration laws related to hiring and employment. What was a "slap on the wrist" or almost zero enforcement against employers in 2004-2005 has turned 180 degrees this year. There have already been some well publicized raids on employers in 2006 who allegedly hired illegal aliens. Recently, a criminal indictment was filed against the Garcia Labor Company in Wilmington, Ohio charging that more than 1,000 temporary workers sent to ABS Air, an air cargo firm, were not authorized to work in the US. This owner could face over 20 years in prisons and fines in the millions of dollars.

Deep Release:
Benefits of Business Blogging to Take Spotlight at Affiliate Marketing Summit
InsureMe affiliate manager and online marketing expert, James Omdahl will speak at Commission Junction University this month, on the power of business blogging.
As a leader in the affiliate marketing industry, InsureMe rolled out a number of new features for its affiliates over the last year, including increased payouts, new co-branding and script tracking capabilities, as well as the InsureMe Affiliate Blog. The blog is updated daily with Web marketing tips and online marketing news. But blogging, Omdahl says, does more than dole out tips.
"Blogging is an effective way for companies to build relationships, increase Web visibility and share information across the Internet—where we conduct the majority of our business."
While there are some technological advantages to creating and maintaining a blog, the real benefit of blogging brings the ability to start and participate in conversations with others across the Web, thus developing a community through which to share ideas, opinions and best practices. This has proven especially true for the affiliate marketing industry.
"Blogging is a great tool for advertisers with affiliate programs," says Omdahl. "At InsureMe, we've found that sharing tips and industry news is a great way to help our publishers succeed in this competitive business. It's really a win on all fronts."
Omdahl will provide an in-depth look at the benefits of business blogging at CJU on September 18. CJU is an annual event sponsored by Commission Junction, a Web marketing company specializing in performance-based affiliate programs. CJU runs from September 17 through September 19 in Santa Barbara, CA.

Studies: Pay Raises Will Remain Modest
Recent studies predict only slight increases in pay for many employees in 2006 and 2007. Many companies will turn to other forms of compensation to reward top employees, experts say.
By Mark McGraw
According to recent studies, the majority of U.S. employees will receive some sort of pay raise in 2006 and 2007. Significant increases in salary are unlikely for most workers, however, as organizations will rely on other means to compensate top performers.
According to a recent survey of nearly 2,800 HR professionals, conducted by WorldatWork, a Scottsdale, Ariz.-based not-for-profit professional organization focused on HR disciplines, more than 90 percent of employees are expected to receive an increase in base pay. But most employees should not anticipate receiving substantially larger paychecks.
For 2006, the WorldatWork poll projects total base salary budget increases across all sectors to average 3.8 percent. Projected increases for 2007 average 3.9 percent. Findings from a recent Mercer Human Resource Consulting study revealed similar figures.
According to Mercer's 2006/2007 U.S. Compensation Planning Survey, which gathered responses from more than 950 employers and reflected pay practices for nearly 12 million workers, U.S. companies plan to grant average pay increases of 3.7 percent in 2006, an increase of only .1 percent over 2005. Pay increases are projected to remain at 3.7 percent next year as well, according to the survey.
While the U.S. economy has experienced a resurgence, the resulting increase in job creation "hasn't been dramatic," says Steven Gross, global leader of Mercer's rewards consulting practice.
Despite an increasingly strenghthening economy, the supply and demand for labor in most industries hasn't seen a considerable spike, he says. Consequently, "companies don't feel pressure to [offer] large salaries," says Gross.
A number of variables -- tax increases, fuel prices, home prices, government spending, inflation, cost of living -- are perennial indicators of what average salary increases will be, says E. James Brennan, senior associate at ERI Economic Institute, a Redmond, Wash.-based provider of assessments on salary, relocation, cost-of-living and executive compensation.
But, despite factors such as rising fuel prices and increasing living expenses, recent ERI data predicted an average salary increase similar to those in the aforementioned studies.
According to the Institute's projections, based on average salary increases in years past, some positions -- protective-service workers, public-relations managers, purchasing managers, business-operations specialists, psychiatrists and chief executives -- are projected to see above-average salary hikes in 2007.
Overall, however, the ERI data -- culled from a wide range of industries -- project a 3.9 percent average increase for the "general worker," a 4.1 percent raise for "professionals" and a jump of 4.3 percent for "management-level" employees in the coming year.
