It is a Wednesday morning in Westland and the mail brings a letter from a state agency about a former employee. As you start digging for their file, you realize their I-9 is missing, your posters are years out of date, and nobody is sure how sick time has been tracked.
With an HR compliance review, we go through the rules that apply to a business your size in Michigan: hiring paperwork, posters, wage and hour, sick time, records and classification. Gaps get fixed in order of risk, and your practices get written down so they stay fixed.
When the next letter comes, you open your files instead of your worries. Your paperwork is in order, your policies match the law, and you have a plan to keep up as the rules change.

What we report every month: Compliance gaps found and closed, I-9s complete and correct, Policies current with Michigan law, and Upcoming rule changes flagged.
Michigan has its own rules on minimum wage, earned sick time, civil rights and personnel files that sit on top of federal law. The Earned Sick Time Act, the Workforce Opportunity Wage Act and the Bullard-Plawecki Employee Right to Know Act are a few that surprise owners. Which rules apply can depend on how many people you employ.
The fee depends on how many employees and locations you have, how many files need review and how many gaps turn up. A small team with simple pay is a short audit. Larger teams with several pay types and contractors take more time. We quote a fixed project fee after a short call.
Every employer must complete a Form I-9 for each new hire, and mistakes on the form are common. A self-audit lets you find and correct errors the right way. E-Verify is required for some employers and optional for others, and we help you decide and set it up.
Calling someone a contractor does not make them one. Agencies look at how much control you have over the work, how they are paid and whether they run their own business. Misclassification can lead to back taxes and penalties, so it is worth checking with your accountant and employment attorney.
Minimum wage, sick time and posting rules change, and staying current is part of the job. A yearly review and a heads up when rules change keep you from falling behind. We track those changes and flag what affects a business.
No upfront cost, but problems are found at the worst possible time.
