If your landscape company does business in Boulder County, we want to make you aware of an ordinance update that could impact your business. The proposed revised ordinance would require landscape companies to obtain a hauler’s license as well as comply with annual reporting requirements.

The Boulder County Commissioners will soon be reviewing an update to the Boulder County Hauler Ordinance (http://www.bouldercounty.org/env/trash/pages/haulerordinance.aspx). The changes would require any “person or company in the business of collecting, transporting or disposing of Discarded Materials for another, for a fee, or for no fee” to obtain an annual hauler license from the county.

The recent Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) final rule regarding overtime has more implications for businesses than payroll.  The rule pertaining to white collar workers (including administrative personnel, outside sales, managers), which the Department of Labor released last month, has the potential to greatly impact your employees’ morale. Team members may be confused by changes in their compensation and may not understand these changes are the result of government regulation.
