On the Up and Up Ep. 53 HR Compliance: The Big Bad Wolf of Hiring
Happy New Year! Let’s start 2024 fresh by getting back to basics.
Like, realllly basic.
In this episode, I'm talking about what we actually mean when we say "HR compliance" and exploring its significance for all businesses regardless of location, size, or industry.
HR compliance isn't JUST about adhering to laws and regulations related to employment (although yes, that is its #1 function); it's also about creating a balanced and fair experience for everyone in your workplace, including yourself. We discuss how compliance acts as a vital preventative measure to steer clear of legal pitfalls, and the nuanced role HR plays in safeguarding both the company and its work environment.
This episode is all about boiling it down to the basics and covering points like:
- What HR compliance even means and where it should live within your business
- How labor laws fit into compliance
- Payroll compliance vs. HR compliance
- Basic standards of HR compliance that are often overlooked
- The ONE must-have policy you absolutely need in your company
