HR Audits

Hoglund & Associates will perform an audit of your company's human resources to help ensure that you are in compliance with federal laws and regulations. We will also assist you in finding solutions to any issues identified in the audit process. There are four key areas that form the basis of each audit.

Compensation

• Employers with gross revenues of $500,000 must be in compliance with laws and regulations defined primarily by FLSA and the Department of Labor (DOL) for all employees. Even smaller employers must comply for each employee whose work is in interstate commerce or involves the use of any instrumentality of interstate commerce (including the phone).
• These regulations specify:
  • that employers must have their employees properly classified into jobs that are designated either exempt or non-exempt from overtime
  • that employers pay overtime for work performed over 40 hours in a designated work week
  • and, that employers keep accurate, up-to-date records on hours of work and pay for non-exempt employees
