HR Audit FAQs

What is an HR audit?

An HR audit is a thorough examination of your company’s human resources policies, procedures, and practices.  Think of it as a health check for your HR department.

Here's what an HR audit typically involves:

Review of HR documentation: This includes employment contracts, employee handbooks, policies on discrimination, harassment, and health and safety.

Assessment of HR compliance: Ensuring your company complies with all relevant employment laws and regulations, such as data protection, health and safety, and equal opportunities legislation.  

Evaluation of HR processes: Examining your recruitment, on-boarding, performance management, and employee relations processes for efficiency and effectiveness.  

Identification of potential risks: Identifying potential legal risks and areas for improvement within your HR function.

What is HR compliance for UK businesses?

HR compliance in the UK refers to an employer’s adherence to all relevant employment laws and regulations. This ensures fair treatment of employees, protects both the employer and the employee, and helps maintain a positive and productive work environment.  

Key areas of HR compliance in the UK include:

Employment Contracts: Ensuring contracts comply with current legislation, including minimum wage, holiday entitlement, and working hours.  

Data Protection: Complying with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) by securely storing and processing employee data.  

Equality and Discrimination: Ensuring equal opportunities for all employees and prohibiting discrimination on the grounds of age, sex, race, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity and marital status which are known as the “9 protected characteristics”.  

Pay Equity: Ensuring equal pay for equal work, regardless of gender or other protected characteristics.  

StatutoryLeave: Complying with all legal requirements related to holiday, sickness, maternity, paternity, adoption and shared parental leave, as well as bereavement leave rights.  

Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures: Having fair and consistent procedures for dealing with disciplinary and grievance issues.

How long does an HR audit take?

Our free HR compliance audit will take just 2 hours to complete and you will have the report within a week or less.  

Should you require a more comprehensive audit, this would be a chargeable service and the duration can vary significantly depending on the size and complexity of the organisation (and to be honest – what state the personnel files are in!), availability of information and scope of the audit.

Is the HR audit really free?

Yes – 100% free with no obligation. We’ll review your current HR documents and highlight any issues or gaps.
