Rather than letting frustrated employees and the Department of Labor identify labor law violations, market leaders rely on integrated workforce management solutions to prevent issues from ever arising.
The Challenge of Labor Law Compliance
Complying with Department of Labor regulations requires control over the zero to gross payroll process. Manual steps and touch points, and their resulting inconsistencies leave employers in peril of breaching labor laws. Failure to comply with these evolving regulations is an expensive oversight and the impact on employee relationships and public reputation is immeasurable.
Even in companies with otherwise strong controls, the risk of labor law violations is real. In highly distributed, complex or unionized labor environments, workforce management is far from straightforward:
- Scheduling of diverse, distributed workforces is a manual process
- Modifications to schedules allow inadvertent breaches to labor laws
- Time capture is handled by disparate time tracking systems and processes
- Limited visibility of workforce data impairs decision making
- Manual touch points make the calculation and application of pay rules inconsistent throughout the organization
Ensuring that schedules and subsequent modifications respect labor laws and that pay rules are applied correctly and consistently across the workforce is grueling – particularly when no automation exists to prevent human error.
