Government Employment Compliance Audits
The California workplace is highly regulated under federal and state law and a misstep in the area of regulatory compliance can be costly. Employers face significant challenges complying with frequent legal developments affecting the workforce and often they find themselves subjected to employment audits and investigations by government agencies. Because these audits and investigations often come without warning, they can be very disruptive to the workplace and an unprepared employer can face fines and penalties for non-compliance with the law. The Labor and Employment attorneys at Weintraub Tobin have years of experience assisting employers in government audits and investigations. We assist clients with legal and regulatory compliance by conducting internal self-audits to help clients comply with applicable law. We also represent clients during audits and investigations by government agencies and are by their side from the first day through the final resolution of the audit or investigation.
