The CYRP Carnival is coming to Waterfront Park in San Diego, California! We are hard at work planning the April 24 carnival event — a family-fun day filled with cotton candy, carnival games, face painting and much, much more for all CRA members. While conserving the past, the CYRP hopes to enhance the future of the CRA by growing the San Diego territory, and we look forward to seeing you and your families there. So mark your calendars and plan to join us!

 

We are excited to announce sponsorship opportunities available for the CYRP Carnival. The event is on Sunday, April 24, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. This event is to give back to all our members (rental centers and vendors) as well as to drive membership in the San Diego territory. We have begun reaching out to rental centers that are not members of the California Rental Association with association info and carnival invites.

The definition of what is the best outcome has become more expansive in recent years. First, let’s define what we mean by best outcome. It’s where the injured employee’s discomfort is minimized, recovery is maximized, and the well-being of both the firm and employee suffer as little as possible. In the past, the employer’s focus has often been primarily on minimizing cost and settling the claim as quickly and economically as possible. But in recent years, the focus has shifted in a more holistic direction toward the well-being of the employee. In addition to creating a more positive work environment, the employer benefits from reduced litigation costs and a more productive workforce because employees return to being productive members of the firm sooner.

On Jan. 31, 2022, the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) sent letters of support for the U.S. House and Senate versions of the Ensuring Workers Get PAID Act of 2021. This legislation would restart the Department of Labor’s (DOL) Payroll Audit Independent Determination (PAID) Act, which allowed small businesses to correct minor wage and hour violations before being penalized.

After a lengthy legal battle, the U.S. Supreme Court has decided to hear a case clarifying what bodies of water federal authorities may regulate. This comes after the Biden Administration’s attempts to reinstate controversial water regulations that would radically expand federal authority over private-property wetlands across the country. After years of uncertainty for small business owners, SCOTUS can provide clarity next term.
