From http://www.producersweb.com Small-business hiring dropped 2.55 percent in September after a 1.15 percent increase in August, according to the CBIZ Small Business Employment Index, a barometer for hiring trends among companies with 300 or fewer employees. This drop is the third largest statistical decline for the report. “The CBIZ Small Business Employment Index shows a dramatic drop in employment in businesses with less than 300 employees for September,” says Philip Noftsinger, business unit president for CBIZ Payroll Services. “Part of the reason is the traditional end of summer and the start of the back-to-school season; however, this drop registers higher than previous September shifts we’ve tracked.” The survey also finds that 18 percent of respondents brought in more employees, and 32 percent respondents reduced staff while 50 percent of respondents report making no changes to their work force numbers. According to CBIZ Payroll Services, this recent decline is enough to consider whether the fiscal cliff is troubling for small-business owners. This could also impact hiring for the holiday season if no solution is present. “If today’s reading is supported by additional negative readings from other indicators and prospective evaluations of the SBEI, the ‘fiscal cliff’ may be causing small business owners to reduce the resources they are deploying,” Noftsinger says. “The inability to act by the federal government is likely a key reason for this situation.” US Risk specializes in the Healthcare, Entertainment and Financial Industries...

SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Aug. 8 (UPI) -- A former Illinois workers' compensation arbitrator's $25,233 worker's compensation payment is being challenged in court by state officials. The Illinois attorney general's office is seeking to reverse the tax-free cash settlement paid to Jennifer Carril, who filed for a disability settlement in 2010 for injuries she said resulted from typing on her computer, the Belleville (Ill.) News-Democrat reported Wednesday. Carril, whose claim was backed up by a doctor who said she suffered from carpal tunnel syndrome, resigned from her job as a workers' compensation arbitrator in July 2011. Maura Possley, spokeswoman for Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, said the office filed its legal challenge June 18. "We are asking the court to review and reverse the decision," Possley said. Carril and her lawyer declined to comment. U.S. Risk Health Care realizes that the healthcare industry is one of the fastest growing business segments in today's economy.
