Labour audits

At Ayuela Jiménez, we offer legal advice on labour audits to ensure your company, regardless of its sector, complies with current legislation. We focus on correcting irregularities to help you avoid potential fines, lawsuits, and conflicts with employees.

Legal compliance and internal management improvement

Labour audits aim to review practices and documentation related to company employees, detecting errors or irregularities before the relevant authorities do. This preventive approach helps businesses operate within the law, avoiding potential fines or legal claims while also improving HR management and internal procedures.

If your company is undergoing an inspection, having a prior audit conducted by a team of specialist employment law solicitors will give you peace of mind that everything is in order.

Preventing labour inspections

Our solicitors will help ensure your company is prepared for any labour inspection by providing legal advice so that you stay up to date with changes in employment regulations. During mergers or acquisitions, we assess the legal status of employees and prevent hidden liabilities. We also help identify internal conflicts or employee complaints that could escalate into legal claims.

Legal advice and representation

During the labour audit process, we review all employee-related documents, including employment contracts, internal policies, confidentiality agreements, special clauses, and working time records. We ensure your company complies with current regulations regarding wages and benefits, social security contributions and other mandatory payments, rights and obligations of both parties, and occupational risk prevention.

Beyond identifying and resolving potential breaches, you will receive legal support for strategic decision-making and representation before labour authorities whenever necessary. At the end of each audit, you will receive a detailed report including a compliance diagnosis, recommendations for improving staff management, and corrective actions.
