Employment Law Audits: securing and optimising your practices

At W-LEGAL, we have developed recognised expertise in helping companies review and optimise their employment and social-security practices. This approach not only ensures compliance with applicable regulations but also provides the legal and financial security required for the smooth operation of your organisation. An employment audit can also strengthen the company’s values and image among employees, clients and partners. Beyond identifying risks, it provides an opportunity to rethink internal rules in light of legislative developments and market requirements.

Making the most of legal developments

Following recent reforms to the French Labour Code, an employment audit can help you use new tools to improve competitiveness, reorganise your business and secure sustainable growth. For example:
Employee representative bodies:
Reviewing the current scope and operation of representative bodies in order to optimise the establishment and functioning of the Social and Economic Committee (CSE). We assist with negotiating and drafting the collective agreements required for this strategic transition.
Compliance and expansion:
In external-growth or M&A transactions, W-LEGAL reviews the employment practices of target companies to assess compliance with statutory and collective-agreement requirements.

Tailored support

Employment audits are particularly complex and require availability, rigour and seamless coordination with the various stakeholders. At W-LEGAL, we adapt to our clients’ specific needs, particularly in terms of:
Methodology:
Analysis performed on site or through a secure data room;
Timing and reporting:
Flexible timetables and tailored report content
Scope of review:
Targeting the key areas to be reviewed in order to provide a relevant analysis.
By taking cultural differences into account and identifying risks and their impact, we enable management teams to make informed and secure decisions at every stage of their strategic development.
