Human Resource (HR) Compliance Audit Checklist

As an employer, you need to be legally compliant. If you want to retain your employees and ensure your customers have consistent service provision, you need to adopt best practice within the business. Having a list of what it is you want to monitor and review is always helpful. It can be easy to forget to include key areas on this list when planning your audit, especially when there are so many areas to cover.

A full checklist normally spans several pages, you can separate them by tactical functions (see above) or by the four steps:

  • Compliance.

  • Best practice.

  • Strategy.

  • Functions.
