When it comes to multi-state compliance, what you don’t know can cost you. A lot.
As HR leaders juggle remote teams, ever-changing labor laws, and disconnected systems, it’s never been easier for compliance risks to slip through the cracks. One missed registration. One outdated policy. Suddenly you’re facing fines, lawsuits, or serious reputational damage. And the worst part? Most companies don’t realize they’re at risk until it’s too late.
That’s exactly why the compliance experts at Mosey built this powerful assessment tool. It’s a quick quiz that helps you uncover hidden multi-state compliance risks before they explode into real problems. In just a few minutes, you’ll answer targeted questions about your payroll, HR, and tax processes across operations.
The result is a look at how your compliance operations stack up in today’s complex environment. Perhaps more importantly, you can also gauge whether they could use some reinforcement before things get more complicated.
Why This Quiz Might Be the Most Useful 3 Minutes of Your Week
The few multi-state compliance assessments out there are either too generic to be useful or so complex they take hours to complete. We aimed to be different with this one.
The team at Mosey knows exactly what real-world HR teams face. That’s why this quiz zeros in on the five areas where multi-state compliance is most likely to break down:
- Payroll tax registrations and withholdings
- Wage and hour law variations
- State business registrations
- Leave and PTO requirements
- Pay transparency mandates
But here’s where our quiz really shines—every question surfaces both immediate red flags and deeper system problems. You’ll see whether your processes are coordinated or chaotic. Whether you’re protected or exposed. In other words, this isn’t some vague checklist that never goes anywhere.
Of course, our timing isn’t a coincidence. As you know, new state laws roll out constantly. Remote work is now permanent, yet many organizations still don’t grasp their cross-state obligations. Meanwhile, state agencies are ramping up enforcement to close revenue gaps, while everyone else wonders what AI means for the future of compliance.
Put differently, there’s no grace period anymore. Not from auditors, regulators, stakeholders, or customer bases. You need to hit the ground running. And that’s exactly where this quiz comes in.
A Closer Look: What These Questions Really Reveal
Every question in the quiz is built to do more than test surface-level knowledge. Let’s look at how a few of them reveal both immediate issues and deeper system weaknesses.
Sample Question 1:
“We register with state tax authorities immediately when a new remote employee is onboarded.”
This simple statement actually tests three critical things: your speed, your team alignment, and your process clarity.
A low score here might indicate broken workflows, unclear responsibilities, or missed registrations. And each of those seemingly small issues can trigger penalties, create tax exposure, or raise audit red flags.
Sample Question 2:
“Our time-tracking system automatically flags potential compliance risks.”
This goes way beyond having the right software. It reveals whether your technology enables proactive compliance or leaves your team scrambling to catch violations after the fact. A low score often points to manual processes, poor oversight, and significantly higher litigation risk.
The method behind the questions:
As we said, every item in this quiz works on two levels, and that’s by design. First, it checks a specific process or behavior. Second, it reveals something bigger about your governance, communication, or technology maturity. We’ve stripped out the jargon while keeping the implications very real.
In the end, our simple quiz takes just minutes to complete but provides powerful insights to act on today.
How the Scoring Works (And What You’ll Learn)
Here’s how the scoring works—and how to interpret your results.
The quiz keeps things simple. You rate each statement from 1 to 5, from strongly disagree to strongly agree. It takes seconds per question.
Each section gets its own score, making it easy to spot your strong areas alongside the ones where you might be exposed. This targeted approach means you’ll know exactly where to focus your efforts.
In practice, most teams score well in some areas and uncover surprises in others. But that’s actually the point. Lower scores don’t mean you’re doomed. They simply highlight opportunities to tighten things up before problems emerge.
The real value comes from the specificity. You’ll walk away knowing which areas need attention first. No overwhelming list of everything that could go wrong. Just clear priorities based on how you actually operate. And that kind of clarity is hard to put a price on.
Compliance Isn’t Getting Easier—But Spotting Risk Just Got Smarter
Even mature HR teams with solid systems are struggling to keep up now. State regulations change monthly. Enforcement actions are rising. Remote work has created permanent compliance obligations that many companies still haven’t fully mapped.
That’s exactly why this quiz exists. It cuts through the complexity to show you where you’re vulnerable right now. Not next quarter. Not when you have more time. Right now.
Here’s the reality: every day you operate with compliance blind spots is another day you’re exposed. But there’s a brighter side to all of this—it only takes three minutes to change that. And if you take action now, there’s still plenty of time to right the ship before the real trouble starts.
The bottom line—this quiz gives you what you need most.
