Goal: Reduce employer costs

The Kansas Chamber supports policies that fairly provide for employees without increasing employer costs and will:

Protect the Employment Security Trust Fund by balancing fund contributions and expenditures and maintaining the compensation contribution system established through Senate Bill 83 in 2007
Encourage federal resolution to immigration reform and oppose state legislation increasing penalties or threatening the business licenses of employers who have unintentionally hired illegal workers
Maintain the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) by opposing unfair advantages for union organization, including “union card check” legislation
