Gainful Employment (GE) Legislation Awareness – Fall 2016
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XyQT3r2xlI&feature=youtu.be
Federal Gainful Employment Legislation or “GE” could force as many as 1/3 of all Cosmetology schools, including some Aveda Institutes, to close despite the demand for qualified employees for the salon and spa industry, a vibrant and growing component of the U.S economy.
We need the support of all Aveda salons and spas!
YOU CAN ACT NOW by:
• Calling The Aveda Institute schools to verify employment of graduated students. It’s critical that Aveda Institutes be able to track alumni. Please click here for a list of Aveda Institute US locations.
• Be compliant in reporting wage and tip income of employees. Inform and educate your team on the benefits of claiming total income – like the ability to qualify for a mortgage or other financing due to accurate income reporting.
• The length of in-salon training programs for new hires can delay new stylists earning a livable wage, so limit or consider paid training.
• Contact your Congressional leaders and let them know how Gainful Employment could force schools to close and jeopardize your ability to hire qualified graduates and impact your success.
