Most small businesses are out of compliance somewhere and don't know it. Usually it stays quiet until a complaint, an audit, or a departing employee brings it into the open.
In twenty years of doing this, the same handful of issues come up again and again at small companies.
Missing entirely, or written years ago and never updated. Either way it isn't doing the job it exists to do.
Exempt versus non-exempt, and employee versus contractor. Getting these wrong is one of the more expensive mistakes available.
Performance issues that live in someone's memory instead of a file. That gap shows up at the worst possible moment.
FMLA, ADA accommodations, and state leave requirements. The interaction between them trips up experienced HR people, let alone owners handling it themselves.
Hiring one remote employee in a new state brings that state's wage, leave, and notice rules with it.
I-9s, personnel file practices, retention schedules, and the required postings almost nobody has current.
Handbook, offer letters, job descriptions, policies, personnel file practices. Whatever you have, in whatever shape it's in.
Federal requirements, Michigan requirements, and any other state where you have employees.
Not a hundred-page document nobody reads. A clear list sorted by actual risk, so you know what to fix this month versus this year.
I can hand you the report and step back, or stay on and do the remediation work. Your call.
The self-audit walks you through the same categories a full review covers. It won't catch everything, but it will tell you whether you need to worry.
