What Is an HR Compliance Audit for a California Employer?
An HR compliance audit is a structured review of an employer’s workplace policies, practices, procedures, and documentation to identify areas of potential employment law risk. For California employers, a compliance review may examine wage-and-hour practices, employee classifications, workplace policies, employment documents, and other HR procedures that may be affected by federal, state, or local requirements.
The scope of an HR audit should reflect the employer’s workforce, industry, business practices, and specific areas of concern. Identifying potential compliance issues allows an employer and its legal counsel to evaluate appropriate changes and address areas of risk proactively.
What Can an Employment Law Compliance Review Examine?
Depending on the employer and scope of the review, an employment law compliance assessment may evaluate areas such as employee classification, wage-and-hour practices, timekeeping procedures, workplace policies, employee handbooks, hiring and separation practices, leave and accommodation procedures, and required employment documentation.
A review may also focus on a specific area of concern or be conducted as part of broader risk management, business formation, a merger or acquisition, or another significant organizational change.
