When an organization has a human resources issue for which it lacks either the resources or expertise to adequately address, ThinkHR's experienced consultants are ready to step in and assist. We provide timely, cost-effective advice and guidance on a range of HR topics.

Compliance Audits
Many small businesses lack the resources and expertise to properly manage their human resources function, and often these duties are spread among several people within the organization. Following the legal requirements and maintaining compliance with various rules and regulations can be costly. However, the cost of not complying can be even greater; either in the form of fines and penalties, or legal settlements.

ThinkHR’s consultants will identify areas where a company is in compliance as well as areas that may need improvement. Audits areas include:

	Personnel files I-9 Documentation Labor law posters New hire process Termination process Injury and illness prevention plans		Wage and hour regulations Employee handbooks Document retention FLSA overview Performance management Benefit bill reconciliations

Upon completion of the audit, our experts personally present a detailed, written report, which includes a professional assessment of the current situation compared to the corresponding standard, what is needed to achieve compliance and some of the potential risks of not being in compliance. We will also provide an estimate of the time, materials and skills required to bring each area into compliance.

Infrastructure Setup
As small companies grow and achieve success, the need for solid HR infrastructure becomes more important. Having a consistent, disciplined approach to the HR function improves employee morale, lowers expenses and limits liability. ThinkHR’s expert consultants create and standardize processes in the following areas:

	Compliance and best practice Federal/state labor law compliance Employee files Job classifications Hiring New hire process		Discipline and termination process Benefits administration HR administration and record keeping Performance management I-9 Documentation and storage Employee handbooks
