WHERE HR RISK CONCENTRATES

Most HR Risk Comes Down to a Few Key Decisions

HR risk management spans hiring, behavior, policy, and data, but the highest-stakes exposure tends to concentrate in two questions you answer all the time: is this role exempt or non-exempt, and is this worker an employee or a contractor?

These aren't quarterly judgment calls. HR and Legal teams make them every time a role is reclassified, an IC agreement renews, or a job description changes. Risk Center is built to give you answers to both.

Exempt or Non-Exempt?

Getting overtime classification right across every role, salary, and jurisdiction.

Employee or Contractor?

Standing up to the multiple federal and state tests a single worker can be measured against.

A BETTER WAY TO CLASSIFY

Risk Center Turns a Tough Legal Call Into a Documented Decision

Instead of routing routine classification questions to outside counsel, or guessing from a search engine, your team answers a plain-language questionnaire. Risk Center applies Littler Mendelson's analysis of federal, state, and local law, scores the risk, and generates a Risk Report you can defend: the recommendation, the reasoning, the applicable laws, and a full transcript of how the decision was made.
