New from HR on Mic: RxDC Reporting
If you feel like the list of employer reporting requirements continues to grow, you’re not imagining things. Recently, the new kid on the block was the RxDC Report. June 1, 2024 is the deadline for reporting the 2023 RxDC information to CMS.
What is the RxDC Report? RxDC stands for “prescription data collection.” The goals of the report include identifying the drivers of prescription drug and medical cost increases and providing more transparency to consumers when it comes to those costs. Employers and insurance carriers both have a role in filing the report.

Multi-State Compliance Notice
PLEASE NOTE: Several states and localities now require employers to provide employees with paid sick and/or paid family leave. In some states and localities, this leave is funded by a payroll tax earmarked for this purpose. In some states and localities, sick leave and family leave are funded by a required insurance policy to be provided by the employer.
If you are a multi-state employer or if you have remote employees who perform work in a jurisdiction that requires paid sick leave or paid family leave, you should become familiar with the requirements of the states/localities where your employees perform their work. You should require employees to notify you if they relocate to a different jurisdiction. You may want to seek legal advice if you are unsure of the requirements in your specific situation.
If you're looking for more information on this matter, please listen to our recent episode of HR on Mic, State Paid Family and Medical Leave Laws.
