Most labor law violations don’t happen because a business is trying to cut corners. In fact, they occur because U.S. employment laws are complex, constantly evolving, and often misunderstood. At DSA HR Solutions , we regularly work with business owners who are surprised to learn they are out of compliance. Not because they ignored the rules, but because no one flagged the risks early enough. From employee classification to overtime, leave, and recordkeeping, small gaps in employment practices can quietly add up. When they finally surface, it is often through audits, employee complaints, or legal claims, by which time the cost is already high. Here is how to spot common red flags and understand where your business may be at risk.
