In the early days of building an HR process and team, leaders lean heavily on their core HRIS. It’s the system of record, the workflow engine, and often the de facto compliance tool. But as teams grow, especially across state lines, cracks begin to form in that HRIS compliance structure.
Simply put, the traditional HRIS wasn’t built to manage the full weight of multi-state compliance. And for teams moving off of PEOs, the complexity becomes even more pronounced. That’s why evaluating your HRIS early, and understanding where it supports compliance versus where it falls short, is critical to scaling smoothly.
The I-9 Form is a key part of employment compliance in the United States. It is designed to verify that employees are legally authorized to work. Introduced under the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, its purpose is simple but non-negotiable: to ensure businesses hire individuals who meet federal work eligibility standards.
Compliance with this mandate is your legal obligation, and failure to uphold it carries significant risk. An internal I-9 audit is a necessary measure to identify and rectify compliance issues.
Choosing a structure that will work for you is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when establishing your business. You have several options available to you depending on the type of business you intend to run and how you’d like to distribute control and liability among the founding members of your business.
If you’re considering utilizing a limited liability partnership, there are a few things you need to consider.
