Any HR professional knows that a major part of their responsibility is keeping the company’s employment files organized – for many legal reasons – but also because it helps to keep your operations going smoothly. An externally-driven audit by a government agency could result in dire consequences including fines, citations, and shutdowns. Without a system or organizing files followed up by regular internal audits of policies, procedures, and documentation, any well-intentioned HR department is at risk of driving a wedge into the ongoing operations of an entire company.
This course will give you a framework for auditing various areas of your HR department. Foundational topics include recordkeeping and employee-related retention systems; creating a practical and sensible plan for staying organized; and planning and conducting HR audits. We have added in special topics important for most employers: auditing Form I-9s and FMLA procedures and documents.
