Challenges
Global Compliance has been working with restaurant chains and quick serve restaurants for decades. Over those many years we have developed a deep understanding of the labor challenges facing these organizations. They often employ team members whose compensation may be based on minimum wage. This is a very controversial topic and if not handles if the local minimum wage postings are not properly displayed the organization may suffer a negative reputation. We have audited restaurants large and small and have identified problem areas with regard to their labor law postings. These include:
- Incorrect minimum wage postings
- Lack of City postings
- Notices which were not properly or timely displayed in multiple locations
- Significant costs incurred as a result of blanket subscription programs
- Additional manpower required to internally audit and administer the program
- Postings sent to locations causing confusion as to what should be displayed
- Cost containment and customized delivery requirements
Solutions
Global Compliance responded to these challenges by creating Labor Law posting programs which were customized to the restaurant business. These include:
- A laminated poster which is impervious to spills, splatters and tearing. The poster has a longer life and is thereby more cost effective.
- Customized and client branded or off-the shelf posters
- Automated minimum wage update system
- Automatic updates or by posting requirement
- Custom printed documents such as employee handbooks
Custom Services
Many Quick Serve Restaurants or restaurant chains require specific product placement at the location. Global Compliance is the only provider which allows locations to:
- Download and view current planograms from a centralized dashboard
- Electronically access posting notices for reference
- Ensure all labor law notices are posted in the proper location for each of their stores
Technology
Restaurants may also have limited manpower to dedicate to administrating a labor law compliance program, yet the liability is great for failing to do so.
For this reason, we designed the first comprehensive Compliance Dashboard in the industry. This system provides HR professionals with access to a full suite of compliance tools such as:
- Ability to activate numerous automated processes tracking shipments
- Downloading postings, customizing notices on the fly
- Receive alerts in any or all locations
- View up-to-date changes in every city in North America
- Full ERP integration and E-Commerce enabling using Ariba and other platforms
