This document discusses human resource compliance. It defines compliance as adhering to applicable laws and regulations while meeting organizational objectives. There are two main types of compliance: corporate compliance, which involves internal policies and procedures as well as federal and state laws, and regulatory compliance, which involves adhering to relevant business laws, regulations, and specifications. Human resource compliance is the process of defining HR policies and procedures that follow employment laws and regulations in order to prevent disputes and protect the organization. Examples of HR compliance tasks include employee recruitment, payroll, and responding to new laws such as those relating to COVID-19 and data privacy.
