HR Compliance Checklist for Small Businesses
Essential HR compliance requirements every small business owner should know, from employee handbooks to workplace safety regulations. This checklist covers FLSA, EEO, FMLA, OSHA, and state-specific requirements.
Federal Compliance Requirements
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) apply to businesses of all sizes. Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) laws prohibit discrimination in hiring, firing, and workplace practices.
State-Specific Obligations
State employment laws often exceed federal requirements. Review your state labor department guidelines for wage and hour rules, leave policies, and workplace posting requirements.
