Get ExpertiseWhat Compliance Means for Your Organization
Do you spend too much or too little time on compliance? The IRS estimates U.S. businesses spend a collective 2.8 billion hours a year on tax compliance alone. Add in the Department of Labor’s requirements for overtime and minimum wage as well as the Affordable Care Act’s tracking and reporting regulations and you’ve only just scratched the surface of compliance.
Naturally, being compliant is going to mean something different depending on the industry in which you work. Are you a medical facility who can’t allow licensing to lapse or perhaps a manufacturer with concerns about Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) law? What sort of training do you have in place to prevent employment discrimination and a subsequent EEOC lawsuit?
The right HR partner can offer your organization expert advice on how to mitigate compliance risk. Learn what potential violations should be on your radar and how to avoid them as well as how to maintain compliance through the employee lifecycle.
