Client Overview: A mid-sized retail business with multiple locations across Texas reached out to Let There Be HR when they began expanding into new regions. They were concerned about compliance with the various state and federal employment laws governing their employees.

Challenge:

The company needed to develop policies that were compliant with labor laws across several states while also maintaining flexibility for their day-to-day operations. They faced risks of non-compliance and potential legal challenges, particularly related to wage and hour laws, worker classifications, and benefits.

Solution:

Let There Be HR conducted a comprehensive audit of the company’s current policies and worked closely with the management team to update their employee handbook. We created standardized HR practices and ensured compliance with labor laws for each location. Additionally, we developed training programs to help managers understand and implement these policies, focusing on wage laws, overtime rules, and benefits administration.

Results:

The company not only avoided costly fines but also created a more cohesive workplace. Employee complaints related to wage discrepancies and benefits misunderstandings decreased by 30%, and the company successfully expanded to new locations without legal complications.
