Welcome from Kent R. Senior
Extensis VPHR

Welcome to the electronic version of our newsletter hrDispatch for 1Q2008. We continue to hope you'll find this a useful reference regarding human resources issues. As always, we invite your comments and thoughts.

This issue focuses on several topics of interest to New Jersey business owners. We provide a round-up of regulatory enforcement activity for 2007, and report on the on-going situation surrounding Social Security "No-match Letters." For readers who dislike having to fire an employee, there's an article on how to take some of the stress out of this unpleasant duty. We're also introducing two new Extensis services to help you manage risk and to comply with OSHA safety regulations.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch with questions or concerns.

Sincerely,
Kent R. Senior
Vice President, Human Resources
