Review of Employment Policies, Practices, and Procedures

Through discussions with the Human Resources Department staff, and other key employees who participate in employment matters, we will work to identify major policies, procedures, and practices that are inconsistent with organizational goals or legal requirements.

We will provide feedback detailing existing and potential problem areas, including recommendations. Some recommendations are based on state and federal employment regulations, others are provided as a matter of beneficial positioning in the event of future claims or litigation, and others still are offered as alternative administrative practices for greater efficiency or increased employee-employer relations.

For example:

• Most lawsuits can be traced to issues related to hiring, performance management, employee
  discipline or termination. Other high-risk areas include:
• Misclassification of exempt and nonexempt jobs.
• Inadequately maintained personnel files.
• Prohibited attendance policies.
• Inaccurate wage and hour or time records.
• Form I-9 errors.
• Outdated federal and state labor and employment law posters.
• Insufficient record retention.
