The Cost of Holiday Compliance Mistakes.
Holiday pay and overtime errors can trigger labor compliance fines. Understaffed job sites with fatigued workers increase the risk of accidents and injuries. Year-end project deadlines combined with reduced crews create pressure that can lead to costly mistakes.
Common Holiday Season Compliance Risks:
- Miscalculating holiday pay under government contracts
- Failing to apply overtime correctly when workers exceed 40 hours
- Incorrectly including or excluding bonuses from overtime calculations
- Inadequate safety training for temporary holiday workers
- Insufficient staffing leading to worker fatigue and safety hazards
Don't let the holiday season derail your compliance or put your workers at risk.
