Question 1

How often should we conduct an HR audit?

Gordon Marzano · Accepted Answer

As a general rule, an annual review works well for most businesses, with additional check-ins whenever the law changes or your company grows, restructures, or enters a new state. That said, the right cadence and depth vary from one employer to the next, which is exactly the kind of thing we help New Jersey businesses figure out.

Question 2

What is an HR audit, and does my business need one?

Gordon Marzano · Accepted Answer

An HR audit is a structured review of your policies, pay practices, records, and day-to-day procedures to confirm they still line up with current law. Nearly every employer can benefit from one, but the right scope depends on your size, industry, and how your workforce is structured. If you haven't reviewed your handbook or classifications since before 2025, that's usually a strong sign it's time to take a closer look.

Question 3

Why is an HR audit especially important for New Jersey employers right now?

Gordon Marzano · Accepted Answer

Both New Jersey and federal employment law shifted significantly in 2025–2026 — from new pay-transparency and separation-reporting rules to changes in how discrimination claims and independent-contractor status are treated. As a result, policies that were compliant a year ago may already be outdated. An audit is the most efficient way to catch those gaps before they surface through a complaint or an agency inquiry.
