HR Audit Service

A significant number of employee complaints to the Workplace Relations Commission and the Labour Court were lost because companies did not have the correct procedures in place.


Employers are required to maintain compliant employee records, contracts, and procedures. Failure to comply can result in financial penalties if taken to a third-party hearing.


At MSS-The HR People, we have an in-depth understanding of employee legislation and are always available to help an employer avoid needless penalties by conducting a professional and thorough HR Audit. This will ensure the employer is legally compliant, has proper procedures/practices in place, which will help the company to defend any claim made and ensure you are in tune with best practice HR.



The MSS HR Audit will: 


1. Review the following:

 

  • Terms and Conditions of Employment
  • Current policies and procedures
  • Internal records, employee data and staffing processes

 

2. Identify where the company is not legally compliant


3. Ensure best practice in all employee related matters


At the completion of the HR Audit, MSS-The HR People will provide a full and comprehensive report identifying areas where we believe the company is at risk. We will also make recommendations as to how best to address these issues to ensure the company is using best practice and is compliant with all current statutory requirements.


Can your Company afford to ignore these matters? To discuss HR Audits further, give us a call.
