Taking Preventative Measures

Every year, more and more businesses are forced to defend themselves against various labor-related lawsuits brought by current and former employees. Many of these complaints could have been avoided if companies took preventative measures to protect themselves. Employment law audits are an excellent method of identifying ways in which a business can avert litigation.

At Simpson, Garrity, Innes & Jacuzzi, P.C., our experienced attorneys are well versed in California and federal employment law. Our firm exclusively represents employers in a range of employment disputes and seeks to help our corporate clients avoid the cost and stress of going to court unnecessarily.

How an Employment Law Audit Works

When a business requests an employment law audit, our legal team partners with a company representative to evaluate human resources policies, procedures, benefits, wages and disciplinary matters. Our aim is to ensure:

• The business is in compliance with state and federal regulations
• Supervisors receive appropriate training for dealing with employment issues
• Employees are informed of business policies and procedures
• Privacy issues are properly addressed
• Employers maintain required programs

In the course of assembling our audit reports, we will examine all company policies and procedures, including hiring and termination packages. Upon request, we can narrow the scope of your audit to include only a specific area in which you have a concern, such as:

• EEO audits
• Wage-and-hour audits
• Review of IIPP

We also handle audits involving all types of job classifications, including exempt and non-exempt.
