Equifax Workforce Solutions to Detail New Regulations and Compliance Best Practices at HR Florida State Conference

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 12, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

DETAILS:

With new credit regulations driving an increased need for employment and income verifications, organizations face a number of unprecedented challenges to meet compliance. To achieve this, organizations need to determine the net impact of the regulations and account for added costs and associated risks. During the 2013 HR Florida State Conference & Expo educational session, "Are You Liable? Are You Compliant? Tackling Today's Verifications," Equifax Workforce Solutions experts will detail the new regulations and explore how they impact volume and types of verification requests.

Presented by Janet Ford, vice president of Client Relations, and Steve Schulz, senior director of Product Marketing, this informative session will focus on cutting through the clamor to identify and implement best practices for managing risk and processing requests. The presentation will offer insight into how employers can best position themselves to handle an anticipated increase in verification requests, emanating from both the lending community and government agencies assessing eligibility under landmark legislation such as the Affordable Care Act. Attendees will also gain valuable perspective on how performing these verifications in a timely manner can help a company's employees secure the best possible credit and benefits in their consumer lives.

The 2013 HR Florida Conference & Expo will unite over 1500 HR professionals from throughout the state and country for three days of keynote speakers, educational breakout sessions and networking opportunities. Conference attendees who wish to learn more about managing the risks associated with new credit regulations to maintain compliance are encouraged to attend this educational concurrent session.
