What is the Job Classification & FLSA Audit?
HR Hero’s Job Classifications & FLSA Audit Tool offers comprehensive, step-by-step guidance during audit and classification procedures, yielding immediate risk assessments and valuable wage and salary classification insights.
Run federal and state audits
Evaluate job classifications and wage-and-hour practices against both federal FLSA requirements and state-specific rules. The audit walks HR teams through exemption, compensation, working time, break, travel time, and training questions in a structured workflow.
Assess every exemption category
Review roles against the key white-collar exemption tests, including executive, administrative, learned professional, creative professional, computer employee, outside sales, teacher, and highly compensated employee exemptions. Guided questions help determine whether duties, salary basis, and salary level requirements are being met.
Score risk and document findings
Generate an audit score and review report that highlights potential classification and compensation risks. Answer-by-answer reporting creates a defensible record of how each determination was made and where corrective action may be needed.
Audit pay and overtime rules
Examine salary thresholds, minimum wage, regular rate calculations, overtime practices, deductions, bonuses, commissions, on-call pay, and compensatory time. This helps HR teams identify whether pay practices align with current wage-and-hour requirements.
Review working time issues
Audit compensable time questions covering pre- and post-shift work, waiting time, meal and rest breaks, required training, overnight travel, and on-call time. These detailed reviews help uncover hidden wage-and-hour exposure beyond classification alone.
Access built-in support resources
Go beyond the audit with additional FLSA training collections, salary threshold calculators, exemption checklists, and federal compensation checklists. HR teams can use these tools to train supervisors, model reclassification decisions, and support ongoing compliance efforts.
