Features
ComplianceHR offers a suite of automated tools designed to help businesses manage labor law compliance in real-time.
Navigator Tools
These expert systems guide users through key HR decisions by analyzing the legal variables associated with employment law and delivering tailored guidance and documentation.
Navigator IC (Independent Contractor)
Determines if a worker is an independent contractor or employee using federal and state-specific tests including IRS, DOL, and common law standards.
Navigator OT (Overtime)
Assesses whether employees are eligible for overtime pay under FLSA and applicable state laws using job duties and compensation factors.
Navigator Leave
Determines employee eligibility for leave under laws such as FMLA, ADA, and state-specific mandates. Includes leave tracking and documentation.
PolicySmart
A digital employee handbook creator that helps organizations build, customize, and maintain legally compliant handbooks across all U.S. jurisdictions. Includes automatic legal updates and state-specific customization.
ComplianceCheck
A self-audit tool that helps HR professionals identify potential compliance issues across multiple workforce categories such as pay equity, timekeeping, classification, and hiring practices.
OnboardingCheck
Provides step-by-step onboarding compliance guidance, including required notices, documents, and legal disclosures by state and role.
HiringCheck
Helps ensure recruitment processes meet legal standards related to applications, interview questions, background checks, and offer letters.
Dynamic Legal Updates
ComplianceHR’s tools are continuously updated in response to changes in federal and state employment laws, providing users with real-time legal intelligence.
Audit Trails and Documentation
Each tool provides a defensible record of decisions made, along with supporting legal references and documentation to reduce risk and aid legal reviews.
User Management
Admins can manage roles, permissions, and access levels, enabling collaboration between HR, legal, and compliance teams.
Cloud-Based Access
The platform is entirely web-based, allowing remote access and centralized management across multiple office locations or departments.
How It Works
ComplianceHR operates through an intuitive web platform that uses logic-based questionnaires and decision trees. Users select a compliance tool based on their HR task—for example, classifying a worker or creating a new employee handbook.
Each tool asks a series of questions related to job duties, compensation, state laws, and company policies. The system analyzes responses using a proprietary legal rules engine developed with Littler Mendelson’s employment law expertise.
Once complete, the tool generates a results summary, legal rationale, risk assessments, and tailored documentation such as job classification reports or compliant policy language. These deliverables can be used immediately for internal HR decisions or retained for compliance and audit purposes.
For example, a company classifying a contractor in California would answer a customized set of questions in Navigator IC. The system then applies California’s ABC test and relevant federal laws to determine the likelihood of misclassification and provide actionable next steps.
Use Cases
ComplianceHR helps organizations of all sizes manage workforce compliance and reduce risk in high-impact HR areas.
Worker Classification
Companies use Navigator IC to determine whether gig workers, consultants, or freelancers should be classified as independent contractors or employees under relevant laws.
Overtime Exemption
HR departments rely on Navigator OT to review exemption status under federal and state overtime rules, especially for roles near salary thresholds or with mixed duties.
Leave Management
Organizations use Navigator Leave to determine eligibility for FMLA, ADA, and paid sick leave across states, avoiding leave mismanagement risks.
Handbook Compliance
PolicySmart supports HR teams in building multi-state handbooks with accurate policy language, ensuring employee policies remain compliant with changing laws.
Hiring Process Compliance
With HiringCheck and OnboardingCheck, companies ensure job applications, background checks, and onboarding packets meet legal requirements in all jurisdictions.
Self-Audits
Using ComplianceCheck, employers conduct proactive risk assessments on timekeeping, wage compliance, and documentation practices.
Multi-Jurisdiction Operations
Companies operating in several U.S. states use ComplianceHR to maintain consistency and legal compliance in employment practices across regions.

Frequent Legal Updates

Drawbacks
While ComplianceHR is powerful, there are a few limitations depending on user needs.
No Global Compliance Tools
The platform is currently focused on U.S. employment law only and does not support international compliance.
Custom Pricing
Lack of publicly listed pricing may be a barrier for small businesses seeking fast comparisons.
Requires Legal Understanding
Although user-friendly, interpreting risk results or navigating edge cases may still require internal legal review.
Not a Full HRIS
ComplianceHR is a compliance decision engine, not a full human resource information system (HRIS) with payroll or benefits features.
Comparison with Other Tools
ComplianceHR is often compared with tools like Mineral (formerly ThinkHR), SHRM HR Advisor, ADP Compliance Tools, and Paycor’s HR Compliance Center.
Mineral provides policy templates and HR advice but lacks the legal automation and defensible documentation of ComplianceHR.
SHRM Advisor offers resources but does not automate decisions or provide customized legal outputs.
ADP and Paycor offer compliance alerts but primarily focus on payroll and HRIS functionalities.
ComplianceHR stands out for its expert-driven decision engines and real-time risk analysis across critical HR functions, backed by trusted legal expertise.
