Question 1

Which Ontario HR regimes does the scorecard cover?

Accepted Answer

Eight: the Employment Standards Act, OHSA, the Human Rights Code, the Pay Equity Act, AODA, PIPEDA / privacy, harassment and violence programs, and record-keeping obligations. Each area has its own checkpoints and financial exposure.

Question 2

What score means I am compliant?

Accepted Answer

A score of 85% or higher indicates a strong compliance posture — maintain and document for audit readiness. 50–84% signals gaps, where you should prioritize OHSA and ESA first. Below 50% is critical risk and warrants an immediate full audit.

Question 3

Is this HR compliance scorecard a legal audit?

Accepted Answer

No. The scorecard is a structured self-assessment that tells you where your largest exposures likely sit. A formal compliance audit involves document review, interviews, and written remediation steps — typically a 2–4 week engagement.

Question 4

Who should complete the HR compliance scorecard?

Accepted Answer

Canadian employers with 10 or more employees, especially those without full-time HR leadership. It is useful before board meetings, due diligence, leadership transitions, or when adding a policy the team has not revisited in years.

Question 5

Is the HR compliance scorecard free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The PDF scorecard is free to download and share internally. If your result indicates gaps, you can book a compliance audit where we build the sequenced remediation plan in 2–4 weeks.
