Frequently Asked Questions

Do employers have to buy labor law posters from WorkWise Compliance?

No. WorkWise Compliance states that government agencies provide required labor law posters for free, while its paid service adds monitoring, attorney review, update management, and replacement support. Employers that use free government notices remain responsible for identifying which notices apply and keeping them current.

How does WorkWise Compliance keep labor law posters up to date?

WorkWise Compliance says it monitors federal, state, and local posting changes throughout the year. Depending on the product or subscription, it sends alerts, update panels, replacement materials, or digital updates when mandatory notices change. Employers buying only individual posters must monitor changes themselves and purchase replacements when needed.

Can WorkWise Compliance support remote or hybrid employees with digital labor law posters?

Yes, but WorkWise Compliance describes its digital Comply Anywhere Poster as a supplemental solution rather than a universal replacement for every physical posting obligation. Its guidance recommends maintaining physical posters at worksites and providing digital access for remote staff where appropriate. Digital subscriptions include federal, state, conditional, and local notices for the covered jurisdiction and update them during the subscription term.

Can WorkWise Compliance handle labor law poster compliance for multiple locations or states?

Yes. WorkWise Compliance supports multi-location employers and says discounts or custom arrangements are available for larger location counts. Its guidance recommends managing each location's applicable state and local requirements separately, and its corporate services add account management and tools for more complex location footprints.

What happens when a WorkWise Compliance subscription is canceled?

WorkWise Compliance states that subscriptions renew automatically until canceled and that cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle, with no prorated refund for the unused portion. Its membership FAQ separately says annual plans can be canceled with 30 days notice, while the Terms of Sale say cancellation may be made at any time before the renewal date. Buyers on an annual plan should confirm the applicable notice deadline in their order terms before renewal.

Does WorkWise Compliance include employee compliance training?

Yes. WorkWise Compliance offers an LMS with HR, workplace conduct, safety, and employee-development courses. The platform supports assignments, progress tracking, reminders, certificates, and compliance reporting. Training is included in higher membership tiers and is also sold in standalone LMS packages.

Does WorkWise Compliance provide HR consulting and employee handbook support?

Yes. WorkWise Compliance offers handbook and policy creation, onboarding and offboarding support, HR risk assessments, employee-relations guidance, and HR consultation. The Partner membership adds a dedicated HR and Safety Business Partner and broader custom guidance.

Is WorkWise Compliance a full HRIS or employee management platform?

WorkWise Compliance is primarily an HR and workplace-compliance provider rather than a full HRIS. It does sell an Employee Management System add-on with document storage and signing, org charts, time-off management, performance management, onboarding, training access, and training tracking. Buyers that need payroll, benefits administration, or a broader core HR system may still need a separate platform.

What does the WorkWise Compliance fine reimbursement guarantee cover?

WorkWise Compliance offers reimbursement guarantees on certain poster and subscription products when specified conditions are met. Current product pages tie the guarantee to keeping covered posters current through WorkWise updates and state product-specific reimbursement limits. Buyers should review the exact guarantee terms on the product they purchase rather than assuming one limit applies to every plan.
