TCP Introduces Expert HR Compliance Services to TimeClock Plus

We’re excited to announce Compliance Center, a new HR compliance support service available through TimeClock Plus. Compliance Center helps organizations without in-house or dedicated legal and HR resources maintain compliance and reduce risk exposure, confidently make informed workforce management decisions, and save valuable time and money.

Navigating compliance

“Keeping up with the regulatory landscape and constantly evolving employment laws is super easy”, said no one ever.

If you’re struggling to keep up with workforce compliance regulations, you’re not alone. Whether you have a dedicated HR team and in-house counsel, use fractional consultants, or have to go it alone with occasional ad-hoc services, organizations of all sizes across all industries must navigate the overwhelming puzzle that is compliance management.

From the intricate complexities of varying labor laws to ensuring your foundational workforce materials, like employee handbooks and job descriptions, are compliant with applicable local, state, and federal regulations, compliance management is a tricky beast, no matter your company size or industry. It’s even trickier for businesses that operate in multiple locations with complex rules and regulations varying from state to state (we’re looking at you, California).

Compliance mistakes are (really) costly

Without the time, human resources, or money to put the right mechanisms in place to prevent compliance issues, you open yourself up to expensive fines and even more expensive litigation. Compliance isn’t a “nice-to-have”. It’s a financial imperative that can make or break your business.

Consider this:

• Roughly 1 in 4 businesses with fewer than 500 employees will face employment charges. The average cost to defend those charges is $160,000 and take approximately 318 days to resolve.

• Violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) — including inaccurate overtime pay, ‘off-the-clock’ work, poor recordkeeping, and employee misclassification — can result in civil penalties of up to $2,515 per violation, and willful violations can go as high as $165,514 per violation.

• Even day-to-day operations can be costly without appropriate compliance measures in place. On average, employees’ failure to comply with workplace policies costs businesses $1.6M a year.

The message is clear: non-compliance is expensive and maintaining compliance takes a lot of work without the right support.
