QUICK ANSWER

What is a labour-law compliance audit?

A labour-law compliance audit is a structured review of an establishment's adherence to every applicable labour law, registrations, wages, working hours, social security, contract labour, registers, returns and displays. Findings are graded by risk, the potential exposure is estimated, and each gap is assigned an owner and a closure date.

OVERVIEW

How Paalan handles Audit & Advisory

Whether you want assurance before a board meeting, preparation for an inspection, a check on a newly acquired entity, or simply an honest view of your compliance position, an independent audit tells you exactly where the gaps are and what they could cost.

Our audits cover every applicable law at each of your establishments and contractors. Findings are graded by risk, with clear recommendations, owners and closure dates. Our advisory team helps you with day-to-day questions and complex situations alike.

Request pricing
How long does a compliance audit take?

It depends on the number of locations and laws in scope. A single-location audit typically takes a few days; multi-location audits are planned in phases.

Do you do labour law due diligence for acquisitions?

Yes. We review historical compliance of the target, quantify exposure and highlight issues for negotiation.

Is advisory available without an audit?

Yes. Advisory can be engaged on its own, for specific questions or on an ongoing basis.

What is the difference between an audit and advisory?

An audit reviews your current compliance and reports gaps; advisory helps you decide how to comply in specific situations.

Will the audit report be shared with authorities?

No. Audit reports are confidential to you.

Can you audit contractors too?

Yes, see our Vendor Audit service.
