An honest read of where you are compliant and where you need a professional, because it is far cheaper to find a gap here than in a claim.
| Area | Solid / unsure / gap |
|---|---|
| Worker classification: employee versus contractor, exempt versus non-exempt, done by the legal test | |
| Wage and hour: minimum wage, overtime, timekeeping, final-pay rules | |
| Required workplace postings for your location and size | |
| Anti-discrimination and harassment obligations for your size | |
| Required leave laws for your jurisdiction | |
| Employer filings and insurance |
The rule: every unsure and every gap is a question for an employment attorney or an HR professional, and the deeper compliance work lives in the compliance, legal and risk work. This checklist finds the edge. It does not cross it for you, because employment law varies by place and by size and getting it wrong is expensive.
