HR Document Audit

The audit covers the documents that actually decide employment outcomes. Our team reviews offer letters and appointment letters for consistency and completeness, employment contracts for the clauses that matter in a dispute, confidentiality and intellectual-property assignment, notice and termination terms, the employee handbook and individual policies, the acknowledgements that prove employees were bound by them, and the records around onboarding, confirmation, and exit. We check not just that the documents exist, but that they are consistent with each other and with the law.

What distinguishes Law Mahaguru is that we audit HR documents the way they will be read in a forum, not the way they look in a file. The danger in HR paperwork is rarely a missing document; it is contradiction and silence. When the offer letter, the contract, and the handbook say different things about notice or variable pay, an employee will rely on whichever is most favourable, and a court may agree. When a policy was never acknowledged, its enforcement becomes contestable. We find these fault lines and tell you precisely how to close them.

The value is protection that holds under pressure. A company with clean, consistent, properly acknowledged HR documentation can terminate fairly, defend a claim confidently, protect its confidential information and work product, and handle a harassment or conduct matter on solid procedural ground. We have seen employers lose strong positions purely because the documentation undercut them, and the audit is designed to make sure that does not happen to you.

We conduct HR document audits for growing companies formalising their people function, established businesses whose documentation has drifted out of alignment, and organisations preparing for diligence or responding to an employment dispute that exposed a gap. Each receives a clear assessment of where the documentation protects the company and where it needs strengthening.

Your HR documents are your defence the day a relationship turns adversarial. Law Mahaguru makes sure that defence is sound. Share your templates and policies, and we will tell you where your people records hold and where they do not.
