Proactive HR Compliance Audits That Protect Your Business

In today’s regulatory landscape, HR compliance isn’t optional—it’s essential. Organizations of every size face increasing scrutiny from state and federal agencies, and even small oversights can lead to fines, penalties, and unnecessary legal and reputational exposure. Rooted HR provides comprehensive HR compliance assessments designed to uncover hidden risks, correct gaps, and ensure your employment practices meet all legal requirements.

Our approach goes beyond a simple checklist. We complete a comprehensive review of your HR operations, reviewing documentation, policies, procedures, and day-to-day practices to ensure every part of your organization is aligned with labor laws and compliance best practices.

Why Compliance Matters

Compliance failures rarely start with one huge mistake—they come from small, overlooked details that build up over time. And when an auditor, investigator, or attorney starts digging, even the smallest error can trigger a much deeper review of your business.

Rooted HR helps you identify and correct issues before they become liabilities.

Our Promise

What you don’t know may be your biggest risk. We know what is required; we will help you proactively close the gaps so that you aren’t reacting when it is too late.

Partial compliance leaves you wide open. We review all your forms, processes, and practices for compliance – and fix even the smallest things that, if not corrected, could cause an auditor or other external party to want go deeper in other areas.  

What's Included in a Compliance Assessment?

A rooted HR compliance assessment includes the following:

1. Comprehensive Documentation Review

We evaluate all HR documents for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with federal, state, and local employment laws, including:

• Employee handbooks and workplace policies

• New hire documentation

• Job descriptions

• I-9 forms and E-Verify processes

• FLSA exempt/non-exempt classifications

• Performance documentation

• Corrective action records

• Termination procedures

2. HR Process and Workflow Analysis

We examine the full employee lifecycle to identify where compliance deficiencies may exist, including:

• Recruiting and applicant tracking

• Interview practices and documentation

• Background checks and FCRA requirements

• Wage and hour compliance

• Timekeeping systems

• Safety protocols and OSHA compliance

• Record retention practices

3. Workplace Practices Review

Many compliance risks come from what employees and managers do—not what’s written on paper. We assess:

• Manager behaviors and decision-making approaches

• Consistency of policy administration

• Communication methods and content

• Training methods and content

• Risk exposures in culture or leadership gaps

4. Corrective Action & Implementation Roadmap

You will receive:

• A clear, concise and understandable list of findings

• Prioritized risk categories (high, medium, low)

• Actionable steps to correct each gap

• Updated, compliant documents (where applicable)

• Recommendations for ongoing compliance monitoring

• Guidance for future audits, growth, or expansion

Rooted HR doesn't just hand you a report—we help you fix what matters.

Who Needs a Compliance Assessment?

This service is ideal for organizations that:

• Have grown quickly and need updated HR infrastructure

• Haven’t completed an HR audit in the last 12–24 months

• Want to reduce liability before hiring, termination, restructuring, or expansion

• Are preparing for state or federal audits

• Want peace of mind that HR operations align with best practices and all areas of compliance

• Have concerns about documentation, consistency, or outdated practices

If you're unsure about your level of compliance, that alone is a signal to take action.
