Over the past 30 years, small businesses paid hundreds of millions of dollars for Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) violations, and many more will face penalties in the future. Don’t be one of them. Proper governance – the controls, processes and rules that prevent mistakes – is often the best way to prevent these situations from harming your business. Our detailed audits, timely regulatory updates, easy-to-understand trainings, and on-call support together can help you and your team stay compliant. Because the best way to avoid a lawsuit is to avoid these mistakes in the first place.
