Stacy Clark Marketing, Neighbor

Wisler Pearlstine is pleased to announce that Rhonda K. Grubbs, Esq., labor and employment attorney and a member of the firm’s Education Law Group, recently addressed the Eastern Pennsylvania Association of School Personnel Administrators about the Affordable Care Act. Her presentation focused on helping school personnel administrators understand the Affordable Care Act’s employer mandate or so-called “play or pay” penalty. Ms. Grubbs discussed potential traps for the unwary and offered strategies for compliance with the employer mandate.

Ms. Grubbs helps employers find practical solutions to their employment-related issues at a reasonable rate. She frequently acts as the de facto human resources department for small and medium-sized employers who cannot allocate resources to a full-time professional in this area. Ms. Grubbs has a unique combination of knowledge and skills in both labor and employment and employee benefits law. She counsels public and private employers in day-to-day labor and employment matters, including disability and family and medical leave issues, compliance with wage and hour laws, and harassment and discrimination investigations. Ms. Grubbs is experienced in drafting social media and other employment-related policies, employee handbooks, employment agreements, and separation agreements. Ms. Grubbs advises employers on implementation of the Affordable Care Act, as well as matters related to the design, administration, and taxation of health and other welfare benefit plans.  She focuses on compliance with the statutory and regulatory rules relating to such plans, including ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code. 

Ms. Grubbs received her law degree, cum laude, in 2003 from Temple University School of Law, where she was Editor-in-Chief of the Temple Law Review. While attending law school she served as a judicial intern for the Honorable Dolores K. Sloviter, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
