Employment Compliance Audit Program
The laws and regulations that impact and govern the relationship between employer and employee are complex. Improper misclassification of workers under various federal and state laws can lead to costly litigation and administrative penalties. In 2011, the federal government has dedicated significant dollars and manpower to administrative efforts to investigate and penalize employers who improperly label workers as independent contractors. Employers who fail to address these issues may be at risk. Gray Plant Mooty is pleased to offer an affordable, proactive approach to managing this risk-the Employment Law Compliance Program, which will include a series of audits.
Independent Contractor Compliance Audit
The first audit series to launch is the Independent Contractor Compliance Audit, a comprehensive evaluation of your company's policies, practices, and procedures relating to classification of workers. Our approach to compliance review combines our legal expertise and perspective with a practical business viewpoint. We candidly review the strengths and weaknesses of your current practices and policies, identify any risk areas, and provide constructive recommendations designed to help you create compliant worker classifications.

Fair Labor Standards Act Audit
The federal Fair Labor Standards Act and its state law counterpart prescribe standards for minimum wage and overtime pay for employers in Minnesota. Compliance with these laws has become a key focus area of the Department of Labor and plaintiffs’ attorneys. Seemingly minor infractions can result in severe penalties for those employers found to be non-compliant with the law. We are pleased to offer an affordable proactive approach to managing this risk.
