How to Measure Your Labor Audit Liability
The content outlines key questions to assess a business's labor audit liability focusing on accurate timekeeping, employee and manager compliance with labor laws, and promotes Swipeclock's WorkforceHub—a cloud-based HR and timekeeping system with biometric clocks designed to improve compliance, streamline attendance tracking, and reduce labor costs.
Are You Compliant?
Is your business at risk for fines or sanctions in case of a labor audit? By answering the following questions, you can better identify your current labor audit liability.
Are Your Timekeeping Procedures Sufficient?
- Are employee time and attendance records accurate and accessible?
- Are staff members paid for all the time worked? Employers should not require employees to work before and after shifts, or at home off the clock.
- Does the system accurately calculate PTO?
- Would the data stand up to a labor audit?
- Can employees cheat the system?
Do Employees and Managers Increase or Decrease Your Liability?
Do your employees know how to use the system? Do your managers know Federal, State, and local labor laws? Do your managers know your company policies regarding overtime?
Need a New Timekeeping System?
Based on the previous questions, have you decided that your business needs a better employee timekeeping system to guard yourself in case of a labor audit or an employee labor dispute?
