YOUR RECORD KEEPING PRACTICES CAN BE EITHER YOUR BEST DEFENDER...OR YOUR WORST ENEMY

Many federal and state employment laws and regulations include specific record keeping rules and required document retention periods. You need to be absolutely confident that all of your employee records, personnel files, and documents — from pre-hire through termination — are legally prepared to defend you...whether in an OFCCP audit, an EEOC investigation, a DOL probe, or an OSHA inspection.

 

And now, with identity theft in the workplace on the rise, you also need to take special precautions to ensure the safety of your employees' personal information, or risk hefty fines and penalties.
