HR compliance mistakes are one of the biggest and most avoidable drains on your budget. A single error—whether a missing Form I-9, an outdated poster, or a misstep in pay transparency—can lead to fines, lawsuits, reputational damage, or even lost contracts. Enforcement agencies are stepping up audits across industries, and penalties are higher than ever. 

During times of sweeping change to federal laws, and with new state laws being enacted, it's more important than ever for HR professionals to ensure they have all their responsibilities clearly mapped out.  

Ensuring your business stays compliant with federal and state regulations is essential for all HR professionals. Missing a filing deadline or form submission can be costly both financially and reputationally to your company.  

You stepped into your new HR role ready to make an impact. But instead of a smooth onboarding, you found a pile of human resource problems no one warned you about: missing I-9s, outdated job descriptions, inconsistent compensation structures and practices, zero documentation for veterans programs, and no clear record of outreach efforts. 

It’s that time of year for new goals, new budgets, and new opportunities to strengthen your organization. The beginning of the year is an ideal time to take a step back, evaluate compliance needs, and assess your HR processes. One of the smartest moves you can make during this planning season? Partnering with an HR compliance consultant. 

The regulatory pressures on human resources are intensifying. Between shifting federal mandates, evolving pay transparency laws, and rising scrutiny of workforce practices, compliance has become a strategic risk for even the most seasoned HR leaders.

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) announced their new Director of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) on March 24, 2025. Catherine Eschbach will now lead the department in its transition from EO 11246 to EO 14173, Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity. Eschbach is quoted as saying she will work to “restore a merit-based system to provide all workers with equal opportunity.”
