Human Resource Audits


Are your employees receiving the appropriate allowances? Have your awards been kept current? Is superannuation being calculated correctly?  Provide your business with confidence that employment entitlements are being paid accurately and workplace relation legislation is being complied with.  A Human Resource Audit is an effective, convenient and quick way of getting this piece of mind.  

Financial audits are considered a necessity for most businesses, but the cost of underpaying employees can be significant with the ability for claims to go back as far as the last six years.  

Ohura Consulting have launched a Human Resources Audit product which provides employers with greater confidence in knowing whether they are complying with employment conditions applicable to them from workplace agreements, industrial awards, occupational health and safety, equal opportunity, workers compensation plus various other legislation and regulations.  

Among many other matters, even the basic Human Resource Audit will examine:  

þ      employment instruments (awards, agreements and contracts)

þ      salary rates

þ      leave entitlements (annual, long service, personal & parental)

þ      allowances and loadings   

þ      roster limitations 

þ      payment for overtime and shift penalties        

A Human Resource Audit can be tailored to the size of your organisation, industry and level of security required.  If buying or selling a business a Human Resources Audit is essential to demonstrate there are no hidden liabilities.

Human Resource Audits do not cover taxation or commercial legal issues.
