Multi-location growth sounds like a flex - until payroll, policies, and penalties enter the chat.
In this episode of Compliant AF, Amy Wood and Kara Kelley are joined by Alan Twigg of Bent Ericksen & Associates to unpack the real-world compliance landmines that show up when dental practices expand into multiple locations, multiple states, or simply start hiring remote employees.
We're breaking down the biggest compliance blind spots emerging groups run into...
- assuming separate tax IDs means separate payroll
- trying to force one handbook across multiple states
- mishandling overtime when employees float between locations
- treating remote work like an automatic 1099 situation (it’s not)
...and more! Learn why HR + compliance experts needs to be involved early - before contracts are signed, systems change, and “we’ve always done it this way” turns into an expensive problem.
