HR Risk Management Assessment

An HR Audit for your business is designed to identify areas of non-compliance that could lead to costly fines and areas where your HR practices may leave you vulnerable to employee claims and lawsuits. 

Because of the multitude of employment-related laws affecting each stage of your business growth, it is extremely important for you as an employer to regularly conduct an HR analysis of your policies and practices.  An employer overlooking regulatory compliance with their HR practices could face:

• Fines of $1,100 for any violation of the appropriate payment of OT for non-exempt employees.
• Fines, back taxes, lost wages, and interest for misclassifying employees as independent contractors.
• Fines up to $1,000 per employee for non-compliance with the Federal Immigration Reform Act.

While penalties such as these certainly solidify the risk of non-compliance and signify the importance of conducting HR Audits, an Audit can also ensure that policies and practices are fair and consistent across your organization and help strengthen employee retention.

We take an in-depth look at the following core areas:

• Compliance (based on staff size and staff work locations)
• HR Management Systems
• Compensation & Benefits
• Performance Management/Employee Relations
• Recruiting & Onboarding
• Employee Classifications
• HR Recordkeeping and Documentation Protocols
• Policy/Employee Handbook Review

The Process:

• Pre-Audit Questionnaire: we will send you a discovery questionnaire to help capture important details about your people operations. 
• Audit Discovery Meeting: we will review your current people operation practices and protocols, and dig deeper where needed. 
• UpLevel HR will then review all provided documents, policies, procedures, and prepare an audit report.
• Post-Audit Meeting where we will review results and recommendations that will support growth, compliance, and help you mitigate risk.
