Compliance

Compliance involves adhering to federal, state, and international labor laws, regulations, and industry standards to protect businesses from legal risks and ensure ethical operations. In HR, compliance includes maintaining lawful hiring practices, wage and hour policies, leave entitlements, data security, and workplace safety. For remote and hybrid workforces, compliance is increasingly complex, requiring policies that address multi-jurisdictional regulations and digital security.

Our Compliance Services:

  • Employee Handbooks: We create comprehensive, remote-ready handbooks that align with regulations like FLSA, FMLA, GDPR, CCPA, and state-specific labor laws, ensuring legal protection and clarity for employees.

  • HR Audits: We conduct thorough audits of HR practices (e.g., payroll, hiring, terminations) to identify compliance gaps and provide actionable recommendations to mitigate risks.

  • Policy Development: We design policies for remote work, anti-harassment, data security, and leave management, customized to your industry and workforce locations.

  • Ongoing Monitoring: We offer monthly retainers to track legal updates and revise policies, keeping your business compliant with evolving regulations.

  • Compliance Training: We deliver virtual training sessions to educate leadership and staff on legal requirements, such as wage laws or cybersecurity protocols, reducing the risk of violations.

With a deep understanding of compliance challenges in industries like manufacturing and government contracting, we leverage trusted resources (e.g., SHRM, Bloomberg Law) and advanced HR tools (e.g., BambooHR, Gusto) to deliver precise, scalable solutions. Our services protect your business from costly penalties while fostering a culture of accountability and trust.
