How to Comply & Mitigate Risk

Organizations should: establish clear remediation protocols before conducting audits, budget appropriately for potential adjustments, prioritize immediate correction of identified gaps, calculate and distribute back pay where required, address both individual adjustments and systemic process improvements, document business justifications for any gaps not remediated, communicate transparently with affected employees, and implement preventive measures to avoid future gaps. Remediation should be viewed as an investment in compliance and employee trust rather than a pure cost. Proactive remediation under legal privilege can limit exposure in litigation.
