The Features of the HR360 Library

Now functioning as the managing director of Conner Strong & Buckelew, Joseph Dibella leverages over 26 years of experience as an employee benefits and healthcare professional. Under Joseph Dibella’s guidance, Conner Strong & Buckelew has partnered with HR360, which offers human resources (HR) compliance services, to create an online library filled with news, forms, and HR tools.

In addition to support for HR professionals, which includes content covering a range of issues from labor law guidelines and payroll practices to performance reviews and instances of discrimination, the HR360 library provides guidance for professionals on issues related to hiring new staff members such as creating job descriptions, conducting the interview process, and handling related tax concerns.

Further, the HR360 library offers information about statewide HR laws covering all 50 states in America, and also contains standard forms for professionals covering audits and various employment forms as well as policy information and employee handbooks.

Finally, the library offers various tools that HR professionals will find useful, such as salary benchmarking applications, and links to additional resources for further research.

Implementing Municipal Health Insurance Funds

Based in New Jersey, Joseph DiBella directs the Employee Benefits Division at Conner Strong & Buckelew and engages actively with clients in a benefits consulting role. Joseph DiBella works in areas such as compliance as well as health and wellness program design and implementation. One area he helps clients navigate involves the establishment of health insurance funds (HIF).

With employee benefits rising rapidly and representing the second largest expense faced by New Jersey municipalities, health care solutions require a multifaceted approach. HIF models enable local school districts and local government agencies to leverage their collective size and negotiate optimal financial arrangements spanning administrators and insurance carriers. This results in benefits that are less costly and more effectively managed. 

As another advantage, HIF frameworks enable entities to maintain benefit plans separately, in ways that do not compromise obligations under collective bargaining agreements. The bottom line is that municipalities gain a greater ownership interest in the management of health insurance claims and benefit risks.
