1. LocationCheck™:
The Power of Place
 

Taking the spot at the #1 release is the future of jurisdictional compliance. With LocationCheck, you’re unlocking a smarter way to look at locations and decision-making around compliance to ensure accurate posters, correct pay, and reliable leave-related policies.  

With the rise of city and county employment laws, identifying a location’s jurisdictional requirements has become increasingly complex. The old indicator of city names and zip codes has proven inaccurate. GovDocs released LocationCheck, which uses latitude and longitude rooftop precision to pinpoint the correct jurisdiction for a location. This innovation eliminates inaccurate jurisdictional assignments and mitigates the risk of location-specific noncompliance.  

Whether you trust a vendor to determine your local jurisdictions, or assign them in-house, LocationCheck is a proven technology, paired with employment law compliance experts, that verifies compliance complexities to ensure you always have the correct requirements at locations, even in areas where overlapping federal, state, and local laws cause confusion.  

2. Subscription Audit Report:
Audit Smarter, Not Harder
 

For location managers, ensuring the right labor law posters at their location can feel like a maze. With each location being subject to a unique blend of federal, state, and local postings based on their jurisdiction, the responsibility of displaying the correct posters can be tiresome for corporate and locations without the right resources.  

The Subscription Audit Report is a cutting-edge CSV that highlights federal, state, county, and city-level posters included in the GovDocs Standard Update Program that need to be displayed at each location.  

With this auditing resource, you can:  

  • Analyze what posters are needed at your locations based on your poster subscription. 
  • Communicate effectively to location managers the unique poster requirements for their locations. 
  • Audit location-specific jurisdictional assignments and remove the guesswork. 

With over 1800 labor law postings to monitor for updates and hundreds of shipments across your locations monthly, you shouldn’t have to question whether the right poster is being sent. Trust the Subscription Audit Report at your fingertips.

3. Pay Transparency: From Complexity to Clarity 

Pay transparency requirements are becoming more widespread due to a combination of social, economic, and regulatory factors that are reshaping how organizations approach compensation. This is adding a new layer of complexity to managing compliance for HR teams. GovDocs Minimum Wage solution released location-specific pay transparency requirements for HR teams to: 

  • Simplify the research processes to understand requirements 
  • Ensure a quality employee and applicant experience with accurate job posting requirements 
  • Strengthen company-wide transparency policies with easy-to-access details for each location’s laws 
  • Build equitable pay practices across the organization by implementing laws specific to your location 

Have confidence your organization can navigate state and local laws, ensuring positive employee and applicant experience with GovDocs Pay Transparency.

4. PosterCheck®: The Feedback Loop You Never Knew You Needed 

Bridge the gap between poster delivery and display with a quick QR code scan – or online code entry – to be notified when a location has received their updated or new poster and know that it is placed on the wall.  

GovDocs evolved its easy-to-use PosterCheck resource to highlight the importance of scanning and increased its size to an 8.5×11 inch eco-friendly mailer included in every poster shipment. Your location manager cannot miss this bright orange sheet to make compliance a requirement and not an option.

This update helps HR teams:  

  • Never question if a poster was lost.  
  • Get direct clarity streamlined from location-level operations 
  • Build confidence across departments in one dashboard  

Put to rest the question of whether locations have displayed posters with GovDocs PosterCheck, a solution that protects your investment while maintaining compliance.  

5. 365-Days Paid Leave Notifications:
One Year Unlocked of Leave-Related Updates
 

With a 123% increase in leave-related bills introduced in 2024 compared to 2023, it is important to monitor and update organization paid leave policies accordingly. GovDocs Paid Leave solution provides a location-specific notification dashboard of 1-years worth of passed and amended paid leave laws.  

This helps HR teams to: 

  • Review passed or amended laws for the last 12 months to update policies 
  • Audit to ensure there are not missed requirements 
  • Budget for future contribution requirements in upcoming years 
  • Answer employee leave-related questions
