Whether the records support your position: that every employee has a contract, that statutory documents were collected and are current, that policy changes were communicated, and that pay and leave were administered as written.
It is a records exercise. Almost every finding is a document that is missing, expired, or undated.
Documents with expiry dates that lapsed unnoticed. Policy acknowledgements nobody kept. Salary changes with no record of when they took effect or who approved them.
The last is the most expensive, because it undermines every downstream calculation — settlements, gratuity and statutory contributions all depend on knowing what applied when.
Annually, against a checklist you maintain rather than rebuild.
Undated changes — salary or role changes with no record of effective date or approver.
No. It makes lapses visible in advance and holds the evidence. The obligations remain yours.
Half an hour with your own data usually saves reading three of these. The guides will still be here afterwards.
