There are several areas of opportunity that you can turn a discerning eye toward and proactively audit to potentially save your family business thousands of dollars and lots of headaches. Conducting internal audits of your HR and HR-related functions isn’t magic – It’s just good business sense!
Join us on October 31 to hear spooky stories about what happens when you are not prepared. The typical EEOC settlement is $40,000 but one Ohio company was just ordered to pay $1.25 MILLION in a class action lawsuit. And did you know non-compliant I-9s can cost you several hundred to several thousand dollars per violation? Fines, penalties, and attorney’s fees can add up scary fast!
We’ll cover the essential audits you should conduct in broad strokes, including worker’s compensation, handbook, forms, safety, and so much more!
