Choose a bounded review with an actionable output

An audit should identify the reviewed population, records, applicable questions, evidence, and follow-up responsibilities. A personnel-file sample, I-9 review, and payroll-process assessment are different scopes; one should not be presented as a complete review of every employment obligation.

The output should distinguish confirmed observations, items not verified, operational recommendations, and questions for qualified legal review. Clients retain employment decisions.

  • Confirm the documents and employee locations included.
  • Prioritize findings and assign correction owners.
  • Define whether rewriting, training, or rechecking corrections is included.

See how to use a compliance checklist and the personnel-file organization guide.

A clear scope before work begins

We confirm your workforce, locations, current materials, desired outcomes, and decision-maker before recommending a project. Your written proposal defines the deliverables, included revisions or sessions, responsibilities, schedule, and fees. Published prices are starting points or anticipated ranges.

Wichita-area in-person work and remote delivery are agreed in scope. The employer approves policies and retains employment decisions. Legal interpretation and legal review are separate.

Relevant leadership experience

Consistent records and informed follow-through

Prior HR leadership work included policy development, manager coaching, documentation practices, and analysis of staffing, attendance, and overtime. The experience supports operational review rather than legal certification.

These examples come from the founder’s prior employed leadership roles, rather than Holt client engagements. Reported outcomes reflect wider implementation and operating conditions; future results vary.

Questions before you begin

HR Compliance and Risk Management FAQs

How is a compliance audit different from the $1,500 assessment?

The general assessment identifies workforce-system gaps and priorities across the organization. A compliance audit is a more specifically scoped review of agreed HR practices and documents, priced at $2,500–$5,000, with findings and correction priorities.

Can you review I-9 records or timekeeping practices?

Yes. An I-9 Audit Program is $750–$2,500 for an agreed record population and correction process. A Wage and Hour Review is $2,000–$5,000 for agreed pay and timekeeping practices. The proposal defines records, locations, and review boundaries.

Does your payroll assessment include processing payroll or filing taxes?

No. The Payroll and Timekeeping Process Assessment reviews time capture, approvals, corrections, documentation, and payroll handoffs. It provides findings and an action plan; payroll processing, tax filing, and ongoing administration are excluded.

Does an audit certify that our business is legally compliant?

No. This is operational HR consulting rather than legal advice or certification. Findings distinguish observed gaps, unverified items, recommended actions, and questions for qualified employment counsel.

Are corrections and policy rewrites included after an audit?

Only when expressly scoped. We identify priorities and agree whether document rewriting, manager training, correction tracking, or a follow-up review is included before work begins.

Turn review findings into assigned correction work

Confirm the workforce, work locations, documents, processes, and sample being reviewed. Findings should distinguish missing evidence, inconsistent practice, and questions needing qualified legal or technical interpretation.

Responsibilities and scope

The employer supplies accurate records and owns correction decisions. Agree on the review period, sample size, access controls, report, and any follow-up. An HR review is not a guarantee of compliance or legal representation.

What useful progress looks like

Assign each action an owner and target date. Verify completion evidence and resolve exceptions before marking an item closed.
