Legal Compliance

Compensation decisions that result in your company being out of compliance with federal or state regulations can create havoc — not to mention the time and expense of audits by government agencies and lawsuits. Legal interpretation and auditing require specialized expertise that most companies are not staffed to provide. Let us bring clarity to these thorny issues.

Complying with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), as well as state and local compensation regulations, involves interpretation of complex, ever-changing statutes. We can conduct an audit of your workforce to ensure that each position and person is classified and paid correctly. If problems are uncovered, we can help you move to compliance as painlessly as possible.

Several high-profile companies have learned the hard way the cost of incorrectly classifying someone as a contractor rather than as an employee. The fact that a worker asks to be a contractor does not mean the classification is legal. We can conduct a contractor review and point out any potential problems.

Has an offer letter or incentive plan document come back to haunt you? We can provide a review of your existing documents. We can create compensation plan documents that clearly say what the company intends, in a way that will be clear to the employee and pass legal review.

Compensation Clarity also provides expert testimony in litigation involving compensation matters.
