Recent laws in New Jersey and California represent a disturbing trend that will negatively impact a practice’s ability to collect monies from patients, as well as expose them to significant penalties if the practice does not follow the mandatory guidelines to a T. Please be aware that a similar law may be coming to your state. The time to act is before the law is passed.
Job Recruiting on the Internet
The results of a recent survey of online job information and employee recruitment indicates that the Internet may soon take over as the primary resource for job hunters.
The survey, conducted by the JWT Specialized Communications of Los Angeles, California, sampled 600 personnel professionals at various U.S. companies: seventy-nine percent used the Internet for job recruiting the past year; and nearly 70% of the companies that recruit on the Internet accept resumes via e-mail.
Posting an employment opportunity online is also starting to catch on. Sixty-one percent of the human resource managers surveyed say they post openings on a job-related website (such as monster.com or careerpath.com); and 14 percent post job openings on the company website.
