PRESIDENT SIGNS REPEALING OUTDATED DEALER CERTIFICATION MANDATE
|
|
| |
On June 9, 2014, the President signed into law an NADA-backed bipartisan bill unanimously passed by Congress which repeals a 1977 mandate requiring auto dealers to provide light-duty new vehicle purchasers with a form certifying compliance with the Clean Air Act. The certification language was redundant with disclosures in the owner's manuals and under-hood stickers of light-duty vehicles. Leading the charge on the bipartisan legislation were U.S. House Reps. Bob Latta, R-Ohio, and Gary Peters, D-Mich., and Sens. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., and Deb Fischer, R-Neb.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency technically still has a "dealer certification" rule on its books. However, given that the underlying statutory mandate has been repealed, NADA takes the position that the rule is no longer enforceable and dealers do not need to comply with it.
We are pleased that in a year when little legislation is passing, NADA was successful in championing the passage of this paperwork reduction legislation for dealers into law.
Please feel free to contact Michael Harrington, 202.547.5500, or Douglas Greenhaus, 703.821.7040, should you have any questions regarding this matter.

REMINDER TO PARTICIPATE IN THE DEALERSHIP WORKFORCE STUDY
|
|
| |
To accommodate numerous requests from dealer members, the deadline to participate in the 2014 Dealership Workforce Study (DWS) was extended to June 30, 2014. Dealers are encouraged to submit their data as soon as possible in advance of the deadline to allow for the extensive data review process.
The DWS is the only NADA-ATD study that compares dealership compensation and benefits, retention and turnover and hours of operation to aggregated peer data. With the results, dealers can make data-based decisions on recruiting, hiring and motivating employees. Only NADA and ATD members are eligible to participate, and there is no cost.
It's easy to participate. There are separate processes for single dealership and dealer group enrollments. Further, participants in the 2013 study will find the survey conveniently pre-populated with their previous answers, which can be changed as necessary. Finally, this year's reports will be sent directly to the person identified as report recipient. Reports will be sent as soon as they are available.
Each participating dealership will receive a complimentary, customized Basic Report comparing its data against data aggregated on a regional and national basis-plus a complimentary, comprehensive Dealership Workforce Study Industry Report.
Participants can also purchase a customized Enhanced Report, which further compares individual dealership data against data for the franchise and state. Additional customized group reports are available, as is the Compensation and Tenure Search Tool, which enables ad hoc searches, including searches by dealership or dealer groups. Visit www.nadaworkforcestudy.com to participate. |

FEDERATED INSURANCE'S "CLAIM OF THE MONTH" - COULD IT HAPPEN TO YOU?
|
|
| |
Federated Insurance's "Claim of the Month" - Could it happen to you?
A dealership provided a demo vehicle to a new salesman on his first day of work. That night, the new employee took three friends for a ride in the car, and wound up getting into a single-car accident. One passenger lost sight in both eyes. The driver was cited for driving under the influence. Had the dealership run a motor vehicle record (MVR) on the employee before giving him the car, they would have discovered multiple traffic citations over a three-year period.
CLAIM AMOUNT: $1 million
What policies are in place to help prevent this from happening at your dealership? Do you know who's driving your vehicles? Federated recommends several best practices to help protect your business and manage risks; for example,
• Obtain MVRs on prospective employees who may drive company or customer vehicles.
• Seek legal advice to make sure your use of MVRs in the hiring process meets your state's regulations.
• Implement a procedure for checking MVRs on a regular basis for all employees who have access to company vehicles.
These are just a few loss control recommendations you can use to help protect your dealership. To learn more, contact your local Federated representative and request a copy of our "Keys to Success" risk management brochure. Federated Mutual Insurance Company is recommended by 17 state and national auto dealer associations just like yours for customized insurance programs and value-added risk management services, such as Federated's Shield NetworkSM, the Risk Management Resource Center, and the Federated Employment Practices NetworkSM. To discover how Federated can help you create or ramp up your own risk management program, or to contact your local Federated representative, click here. |
