The number of rules and regulations imposed on employers by various state and federal agencies is constantly growing. When the number of regulations does not increase, the current rules and regulations change, often with little or no notice. Since failure to comply with these regulations could result in a major expenditure of funds, loss of revenue, or significant back-pay awards, compliance is essential.
Our staff keeps abreast of current developments and is well-equipped to assist employers in navigating the treacherous waters of regulatory compliance.
