Why it matters

HR compliance is not one thing, it is everything

Compliance risk shows up in the places you are not looking: an I-9 with a date error from 2019, a job description that accidentally disqualifies protected classes, a background check process that does not follow FCRA. Catapult brings structure, documentation, and ongoing monitoring to every compliance exposure, before it becomes a penalty or a lawsuit.

Why Catapult

Compliance is a moving target, we track it full time

Employment law changes constantly. Your compliance program needs to change with it.

Proactive, not reactive

We find compliance gaps before regulators or plaintiffs do, with structured audits, monitoring, and real-time legal alerts.

Documentation that defends you

Every service includes audit-ready documentation. When a complaint arrives, you need proof, and we build that trail before you need it.

Multi-state without the chaos

Our compliance engine tracks employment law across every state you operate in, so a change in one does not quietly break your policy in another.

FAQs

HR compliance questions

What does an HR compliance audit cover?
A Catapult HR compliance audit reviews your HR files, policies, job descriptions, and I-9 records, then returns a prioritized remediation roadmap so you fix the highest-risk items first rather than everything at once. See HR compliance audit services.
Which compliance obligations apply to a multi-state employer?
Federal obligations such as the FLSA, Form I-9, EEO-1 reporting, and the FCRA apply everywhere, but state law layers on top and diverges considerably on pay transparency, sick leave, final pay, and background check restrictions. The practical risk for multi-state employers is a policy that is correct in the headquarters state and non-compliant in another.
Is background screening part of HR compliance?
Yes, and it is one of the most regulated parts. Employment background checks run through a consumer reporting agency are governed by the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, which requires standalone disclosure, written authorization, and a pre-adverse and adverse action process before you act on a report. See pre-employment screening.
How often should we review our employee handbook?
At least annually, and additionally whenever you enter a new state or a significant employment law change takes effect. A handbook that has not been reviewed in several years is usually the single easiest document for a plaintiff to use against an employer.
Can Catapult handle compliance for us, or only advise?
Both, depending on the service. Some engagements are advisory, such as HR Advisory On-Call. Others are delivered, including background screening, electronic I-9 administration, EEO-1 filing management, and ongoing monitoring.

Not sure where your compliance risk sits?

Start with an audit. We will tell you what is exposed and what to fix first.
