Multistate Compliance Mistakes You're Still Making

Most businesses are managing modern compliance requirements with tools built for a different era. Ten years ago, spreadsheets and email reminders could handle multistate compliance. Multistate compliance mistakes were rare because state payroll was simpler. Employees worked from offices. State compliance requirements changed slowly. And companies expanded more deliberately, usually one state at a time. But that world no longer exists. Today’s compliance management landscape is constantly shifting. Remote employees scattered across state lines overnight. Regulations update continuously. And what used to be manageable for employers has become a tangled knot of requirements that outdated tools simply can’t manage.

HRIS Compliance Stack for Multi-State Teams

By Brett Ungashick, Founder of Outsail 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.

Business Compliance: Guidelines for Entrepreneurs

Some people love to follow the rules–others live to break them. Many founders and business owners fall at least partially into this second category. After all, innovation requires questioning the status quo. But one area where it’s wisest not to break rules is the law. Employment and tax laws apply to even the earliest stage, most disruptive founders, and not complying comes with penalties and fines. That means when it comes to business compliance, you need to become a certified box-checker.
