A Humareso HR audit reviews your I-9s, payroll, classifications, handbook, and leave practices, then hands you a prioritized plan to close the risks that cost employers the most.
Most HR liability is invisible until it becomes a penalty, a claim, or a failed due-diligence review. An audit surfaces it while it is still cheap to fix.
Paperwork errors alone carry per-form fines, and they multiply fast across a workforce. Most employers have errors they have never checked for.
Treating an employee as a contractor, or an hourly worker as exempt, invites back-pay, taxes, and penalties from multiple agencies at once.
Overtime miscalculations and off-the-clock work are among the most common and most expensive employment claims.
An out-of-date handbook is worse than none. It documents practices you no longer follow and law that has since changed.
Required federal, state, and local notices change regularly. Gaps are easy to miss and simple for regulators to spot.
Ad hoc FMLA, ADA, and state leave decisions create discrimination and retaliation exposure that compounds over time.
We tailor scope to your size, locations, and risk. A comprehensive audit spans every area below; a focused audit zeroes in on the ones that matter most right now.
Your HRIS, payroll, and benefits systems reviewed for configuration, data integrity, and access controls, plus whether the stack actually fits the way your team works.
New-hire and separation paperwork, acknowledgments, and access changes reviewed end-to-end, so nothing required is missing at either end of the employee lifecycle.
Form I-9 completeness, retention, and storage. We flag missing forms, errors, and reverification gaps before they become fines.
Tax setup, overtime, garnishments, and pay practices reviewed against federal and multi-state wage-and-hour rules.
Employee vs. contractor and exempt vs. non-exempt classifications tested against current standards to limit misclassification exposure.
Your handbook and core policies reviewed for legal currency, consistency, and acknowledgment by every employee.
Required reporting, personnel file hygiene, and retention practices checked against EEO and recordkeeping obligations.
Federal, state, and local labor-law posters plus FMLA, ADA, and state leave administration reviewed end-to-end.
