Employment Audits
Government Audits
Businesses are subject to many different types of employment-related government audits. Preparing for an audit will often require compiling numerous document and records. You will also need to be prepared to answer specific and often detailed questions about your company’s employment policies and procedures. If you are being audited by a state or federal agency, an employment law attorney at Moody & Stanford can provide effective legal representation. This includes audits involving:
- I-9, immigration and customs
- OSHA
- New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions
- COBRA
- EEOC
- HIPAA
- ADA
- FMLA
We will make sure that all of the necessary information is collected, organized and reviewed, and look for any red flags that may need to be addressed. Our attorneys will ensure your rights are protected at all times and provide whatever legal support is necessary until the conclusion of your case.
Qualified Legal Representation
A lack of knowledge, inadequate internal policies and failure to keep accurate records can result in noncompliance with many state and federal employment laws. The penalties for noncompliance often include steep fines ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars. An audit that uncovers serious noncompliance issues can also result in criminal prosecution if it is believed the employer willfully and intentionally engaged in illegal acts. Our firm has represented employers for over 50 years, and can provide the skilled and dedicated representation needed in a government audit. We are efficient and resourceful, and can be depended on for sound legal advice and unwavering advocacy. We also work with employers on a proactive basis to detect, prevent and correct instances of noncompliance to ensure the best possible outcome to any future audits.
