The laws surrounding human resources are increasingly complex, and failure to comply with these laws can result in serious problems for your business. This is another area where it is crucial to work with a lawyer who has a thorough understanding of the law. Ideally, you want to find someone who not only understands the law as it is written but who also has experience working with the law as it is put into practice.
Human resources compliance includes areas like employee contracts, training, and handbooks, as well as questions about how much responsibility employers have for any inappropriate actions taken by their employees.
Human resources compliance covers wage law and unemployment compensation as well as occupational safety and substance abuse testing policies. Broadly speaking, it covers just about every facet of the legal relationship between employers and their employees.
Companies of all sizes, from startups to large corporations, sometimes forget about the importance of human resources compliance. Many businesses tend to be staffed by close-knit groups of people, and there’s a temptation to think of the company as a family. However, as the business grows or shifts and more employees come on board, complications can easily arise. In any case, it is always a good practice to ensure that the business is compliant with all legal requirements.
