We look below the surface to identify and resolve HR problems before they become unmanageable and costly.

Create a proactive work environment that addresses employee problems quickly and reduces liability. We work with you to both prevent and resolve human resource-related challenges. We help you to identify the source of the problem so you can develop strategies and tools to effectively manage it. We provide carefully prepared recommendations that offer a long term resolution, not a short term fix.

We help you reduce your employment practice liability risk in several important ways.

Well-constructed HR documents are a good first step toward protecting your organization. You must also make sure that your actual practices are consistent with legal requirements as well as your written policies and procedures. We can help you to identify and address specific HR issues before (or after) they become obstacles to your organization's success.

FLSA Classification Evaluation

The purpose of this evaluation is to confirm that each of your positions is correctly classified as exempt or non-exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended. The determination of exempt and non-exempt classification is based on the actual duties of a position, not its title or description. If your job descriptions are not current, accurate, and complete, we can help you to update them before proceeding with the evaluation.

Employee / Independent Contractor Classification Evaluation

The purpose of this evaluation is to confirm the status of your independent contractors according to the Internal Revenue Service guidelines. Classifying employees as independent contractors is a common mistake that can have significant financial implications for your organization.

Affirmative Action Analysis

We can support your affirmative action compliance initiatives, including overall planning, adverse impact analyses, pay equity risk analyses, etc.

Pay Equity Analysis
Despite employers' best efforts to base pay decisions on objective criteria, pay inequities are common across industries. With the passing of the Lilly Ledbetter Pay Act, there is heightened employee awareness about this issue.

Do you want to find out about the existence of pay inequities after a complaint has been filed and are you prepared to defend your decision?

We can conduct a pay equity analysis for your organization using highly regarded compensation statistical software. This analysis identifies pay discrepancies that exist across gender, race, and ethnic lines.  Once you have this information, you can make appropriate adjustments to eliminate unsubstantiated disparities.
