A dispute with workers or a union is building.

If one of these sounds familiar, the pages below show how HRBS works on it, what is included and what it costs you.

What you get with HRBS

A calendar, not a reportEvery obligation gets an owner and a due date, so compliance does not depend on one person's memory.

Dated adviceLabour law and state rules change. Each review states the date it reflects, so you know when to refresh it.

Counsel when neededWhere an opinion is needed, HRBS brings in qualified counsel and keeps you in one conversation.

Reviewing documents and taking notes at a desk

Why this matters

Compliance failures are rarely dramatic. They come from a missed return, an expired contractor licence or a record nobody kept, and they surface during an inspection, a funding round or a dispute. The Labour Codes add another layer of change. HRBS reduces the risk by turning obligations into a calendar with owners, by reviewing contractors as well as your own records, and by dating every review, so you know when advice needs a refresh.

The same four steps run through every engagement in this group.

HR Compliance and Labour Advisory FAQs

What is HR compliance?

HR compliance means meeting the laws that govern employment: registrations, wages, social security, working hours, contract labour, safety and records. Missing them can lead to penalties and disputes.

What are the four Labour Codes?

They are the Code on Wages, the Industrial Relations Code, the Code on Social Security and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code. A readiness audit shows what they change for your business.

Is HRBS a law firm?

No. HRBS is an HR consultancy. Legal opinions are provided by qualified counsel, and HRBS coordinates with them where an opinion is needed.

How often should we review compliance?

At least once a year, and whenever you open a plant, add a state, change contractors or a law changes. A compliance calendar keeps the routine filings on track between reviews.

What is labour advisory?

Labour advisory is practical advice on employment law obligations and worker relations: what applies to your business, which records to keep, how to answer notices and how to prepare for the Labour Codes.

Do the Labour Codes replace the older labour laws?

The four Labour Codes consolidate 29 central labour laws. States notify their own rules, and timelines have changed more than once, so every HRBS review states the date it reflects.

How often should compliance be checked?

Keep a monthly calendar for returns and payments, and run a fuller audit once a year or before an inspection, a funding round or a new plant opening.
