Frequently asked questions
Yes. Compliance Watchtower supports businesses operating across multiple countries that use our Employer of Record, Payroll, and HRIS products. The platform delivers comprehensive HR compliance and employment law coverage — from legal changes and salary updates to shifts in benefits — tailored to each location's specific legal requirements.
HR compliance means making sure an organisation follows the full range of laws, regulations and guidelines that dictate how employees are treated at work. It covers many areas, including hiring practices, workplace safety, wage and hour laws, anti-discrimination measures and data protection.
The aim of HR compliance is to provide a safe, fair environment for all staff while shielding the organisation from legal risks and liabilities. Businesses need to keep up with legal requirements at the federal, state and local levels, and put in place policies and procedures to ensure consistent compliance across the organisation.
Practical HR compliance includes regular audits, keeping accurate records and updating policies and procedures as laws evolve. It's an ongoing process that needs continual attention to adapt to new legislation and changing HR best practice.
By prioritising HR compliance, organisations protect against fines, penalties and lawsuits, and foster a positive workplace culture that attracts and retains top talent.
Employment law covers the rights and duties between employers and people who perform work. It includes a wide range of topics, such as anti- discrimination protections, labour relations and minimum wage requirements. Its purpose is to ensure fair treatment at work, promote safe conditions, and set out responsibilities and entitlements for both employers and workers.
A compliance issue occurs when an organisation fails to comply with legal statutes, regulations, standards or ethical practices relevant to its operations.
This can include breaches of employment law, violations of data protection rules or failures to meet payroll reporting obligations.
Compliance problems can result in legal penalties, financial loss, reputational damage and harm to employee morale and customer trust.
Dealing with these issues quickly and effectively is essential to protect a business's integrity and success.
Compliance Watchtower alerts cover a broad set of employment law changes, including mandatory salary increases, updates to leave entitlements, changes to work hours and shifts in health and safety regulations. Our aim is to include all HR and employment law areas that could affect your global workforce.
We convert complex HR and legal changes into simple, actionable next steps. We don't just tell you what's changed — we explain how it affects your operations and what you need to do to stay compliant, making the compliance process easier.
We use advanced technology and a team of legal experts to monitor and analyse employment laws in real time across the countries where Remote operates. That lets us send fast alerts and updates straight to your dashboard so you stay ahead on compliance.
Remote supplies compliance updates and recommendations for information only and does not provide legal advice. If you're using Remote HRIS and need deeper explanation, we recommend you consult a legal or HR professional for guidance tailored to your situation.
If you're a Remote customer using our Employer of Record (EOR) or Payroll service, you can speak with our dedicated team of legal experts for extra guidance and clarification. Our team is ready to provide personalised support to ensure your questions are fully answered.
Compliance Watchtower is part of Remote HRIS, our product that helps companies bring HR processes for employees worldwide into one place.
Customers can also access Compliance Watchtower updates for countries where they have employees using Remote's EOR or Payroll services.
