Paid sick leave (PSL) is an important topic that is constantly evolving. Whether you run contractors through your own back-office or outsource to a back-office service provider – you need to be familiar with this employment law area that affects both you and your contractors. If you don’t currently place contractors in a geographical area that requires PSL or has it on an upcoming ballot, the lack of PSL laws at the federal level may have left you uninformed on this subject.

If PSL does not impact you now, it probably will soon.

The word ‘wellness’ evokes ongoing activity; it’s not a state you achieve and then thrust aside. The Wellness Movement was founded in the ‘50’s; one of the key leaders was John Travis, physician and author (and U.S. soccer player). People search for that ‘healthy balance’, however, in reality, your mind, body and spirit will not be balanced each and every day. Forsaking a rollercoaster-type pace may be in order to reflect on what’s missing, what’s excessive, and what’s already ‘just right.’

What is the correct form? Here is one example: you know that magnesium is a required mineral, but there are many different forms of magnesium. The most commercially available form is magnesium oxide. Too bad that magnesium oxide is very poorly absorbed in the body. On the plus side, it’s very cheap, and that’s why it’s found in so many supplements. On the flip side, magnesium glycinate and magnesium citrate are much more potent forms of magnesium (for the science geeks, here’s a study you can check out:), and in fact, you’re much better off taking 40 mg of magnesium glycinate than 400 mg of magnesium oxide. This is just an example, but every nutrient has several different forms, and some are more potent than others.

Most of the low-paid, insecure and casual roles in our workforce are held by women, most of the chief execs, senior managers and decision-makers in our workplaces are men. Evidence shows that mental health is significantly influenced by our sense of personal autonomy, self-worth, physical, sexual and psychological safety, essentially how much power and control we feel we have in our environment and our relationships.
