Are you in need of a HR Compliance Assessment?
Employment and Labor Law regulations are an ever changing landscape. Being compliant is a way of life for business owners. Compliance is especially important for small business owners. Did you know that the average cost of an employee lawsuit for a company skyrocketed by 60% in 2008. In 2009 the median employee payout due to litigation was $326,640 (HRMorning.com).
Moreover, the Department of Labor estimates that approximately 70% of employers are routinely violating wage and hour laws, and the Wage and Hour Division recovered back wages of $1.4 billion for Fiscal Years 2001 through 2008, with numbers continuing to grow in 2010 and beyond (TheProactiveEmployer.com). In 2010, Labor and Employment Law was the second highest pending litigation category in the United State. (Fulbright 7th Annual Litigation Trends Survey Report)
