Human Resource Audit
The HR Audit is a comprehensive review of your company's human resource practices and policies. It is designed to identify specific risks, prioritize action items, recommend loss control and risk management mechanisms to develop workable solutions designed to limit potential legal liability. The HR Audit also creates legal defenses in the event of lawsuits or governmental audits.
The HR Audit addresses both recognized HR Audit processes: the Employment Law Review and the HR Core Functions Review.
The Employment Law Review provides analysis of compliance practices and policies dealing with the following:
Civil Rights Act (Title VII)
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA)
Equal Pay Act (EPA)
State Workers' Compensation laws
Federal and State Immigration laws
The Employment Law Review also analyzes other legal issues such as the enforceability of restrictive covenants, issues related to contract employees, "on call" status, drug testing, affirmative action plans review, and electronic discovery compliance.
The HR Core Functions Review of the HR Audit addresses policies and practices related to the following:
