Employment Law, Policy and Procedure Update: Crucial Steps of an HR Audit

Course Description:

ADA amendments. FLSA enforcement. GINA regulations. I-9 compliance. Are you sure your company’s policies and procedures have been modified to be up to date on all employment laws?

Because of the multitude of laws affecting each stage of the employment process, it’s extremely important for employers to regularly review their policies and practices. Yet, even the most conscientious employers miss or misapply one or more of the many varied and complex employment laws.

In fact, an employer that overlooks regulatory compliance with their HR practices could face:

• A fine of $1,100 for any violation of the appropriate payment of overtime for non-exempt employees in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act.
• Penalties as high as $10,000 each occurrence for failing to post required safety notices or keeping accurate records.

• Fines up to $1,000 per employee for non-compliance with the Federal Immigration Reform Act.
