Key Takeaways

  • Six employment risk categories: classification, discrimination, wage/hour, safety, documentation, and termination.
  • Federal compliance requires I-9 verification, W-4 collection, FICA withholding, FUTA payments, FLSA compliance, and anti-discrimination adherence.
  • State laws often exceed federal requirements—multi-state operations must track compliance across all jurisdictions.
  • Employee misclassification is the most common and most expensive employment compliance failure.
