The VA needs to shed the defunct departments, to include useless VISN leadership and the Office of Client Relations. The VA White House Hotline provides no value to veterans other than being glorified switchboard operators, which can be easily accomplished by operators at the VAMC’s. I can’t count the times I’ve talked to VA employees and realized they don’t provide value anymore, but yet their departments still exist. Patient Advocates have also lost their authority to properly address issues, and are simply passing the problems back down to the original departments. Overall, oversight and accountability is non-existent in the VA. One department with real authority and empowerment to truly address problems and force the VAMC’s to abide by Congressional Law and VA policy/directives would easily replace thousands of useless employees. Of course, we’ll see the bottom line employees suffer from this decision while the VA management and leadership are protected. #VA #VBA #veteransaffairs #startover

As you may have seen, Massachusetts is the newest state to pass a pay transparency law. Covered employers must comply with the law's reporting requirements by February 1, 2025 and with the pay transparency requirements as of July 31, 2025. The alert Mark Pomfret, Natalya Minoff and I put together provides an overview of the law and recommendations for employers. We will also be monitoring the attorney general's Public Awareness Campaign to see what additional guidance is provided. #employmentlaw #payequity #paytransparency https://lnkd.in/efHvqmVk

What are you grateful for on this warm and sunny Friday? Here at NHD we are proud that since launching the business in mid-2021 we have a 100% staff retention record. This reflects our employee loyalty, for which we are extremely grateful, our leadership, the quality of the work we do and the culture that we have created as a team. That consistency brings huge benefits for the taxpayers we help. It means that if you engage NHD Tax Solutions to handle your HMRC issue, it is almost certain that you will be supported by the same individuals throughout the duration of the assignment. For each of our clients we consider their preferred way to communicate, frequency of meetings, how they prefer to be updated and in what form information is most easily digested by them. Getting to know our clients in this way takes time and once we have done so, it can be detrimental to change the assignment team and will inevitably lead to a duplication of work if a new case manager needs to be assigned who has previously not been involved in the case. Being the focus of any form of HMRC dispute is stressful enough and it pays both financially and emotionally to think carefully about who you appoint to support you through to conclusion.
