Survey results: biggest HR legal or regulatory obstacle?

Here are the results from a Workforce Management readership survey:

If you could make changes to one workplace-related rule or regulation, which would it be?

10%: The ADA

15%: Overtime rules

2%: Minimum-wage mandates

4%: OSHA regulations

17%:Workers’ compensation

34%: Family leave laws

3%: I-9 and immigration rules

9%: Something other than the above

7%: None; I’d keep the rules as is
Total respondents: 417

Interesting — but not surprising — that family leave took first place. FMLA was such a proud achievement of the first Clinton term ! But it has proven unwieldy to administer and encouraged what is often perceived as unjustified absences, particularly under the guise of “intermittent leave.”

I do wonder if the results would be different if the survey included sexual harassment.
