Our Compliance Consultation services.
Particularly small to medium-sized businesses operate without the benefit of dedicated, high-level in-house HR compliance expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions
We’re here to make HR easier. Below are a few common questions we hear from clients.
Our compliance consultations can cover virtually any HR compliance topic. This includes, but is not limited to, interpretation of wage and hour laws (FLSA, state equivalents), employee leave management (FMLA, ADA, state leaves), reasonable accommodations under the ADA, policy interpretation and application, preparation for potential agency audits (DOL, EEOC), risk assessment in hiring or termination, EEO compliance, and much more.
To make the consultation as productive as possible, it’s helpful to gather any relevant documents beforehand (e.g., specific policies in question, employee files related to an issue, previous audit reports if applicable). Clearly defining the specific questions, challenges, or areas of concern you wish to discuss will also help focus the session. We will guide you through the rest of the process.
While HR Minded Consulting provides expert HR compliance advice and can help you understand your obligations and prepare responses, if you are facing an active legal complaint or a formal government audit, we strongly recommend that you also engage qualified legal counsel immediately. We can work in conjunction with your legal team to provide specialized HR-specific support and expertise.
We offer flexible engagement options to suit different needs. This can include hourly rates for specific, ad-hoc consultations or project-based fees for more extensive work, such as conducting a comprehensive HR compliance audit. We will discuss pricing transparently with you upfront, based on the anticipated scope of the consultation.
A compliance consultation often serves as an initial diagnostic or a way to address immediate, specific questions. It can be a standalone service to get targeted advice. In many cases, a consultation may lead to the identification of a need for a more in-depth service, such as a full policy manual rewrite, a comprehensive handbook development, or a customized compliance training program for your team. It’s a flexible way to access our expertise and determine the best path forward for your organization’s compliance needs.
