contracts, policies, payroll, processes
We check contracts, policies, payroll registrations, leave and hours, records, hiring and termination, health and safety, employment equity and training — one complete picture.
not just a list of problems
You get a prioritised risk list and ready-to-use contracts, policies and forms — backed by our admitted attorney principal. The audit is priced on headcount, from R7,500 to R18,500 excluding VAT, with a turnaround of ten working days, and half the fee is credited against any OptiHR monthly retainer taken up within 60 days.

Plain language — no jargon, so you know exactly what to do.
Both sides — we have audited employers and represented them during government inspections.
baseline compliance for every employer.
The BCEA and LRA set minimum standards for every employment relationship. An audit verifies your contracts, payroll, leave, hours and dismissal procedures meet them — before a CCMA case shows they don't.
workplace safety compliance.
The OHSA requires a safe working environment, safety committees at 50+ employees, accident records, and compliance with industry-specific regulations. Non-compliance brings DOL enforcement action and director liability.
