HR professionals and industry analysts are generally familiar with the HR solution map—often represented visually as spokes in a wheel—illustrating the core functional areas within HR and supporting HCM platforms.
Traditionally, “compliance” has been treated as just one spoke in this wheel. But times have changed. Compliance now touches and influences nearly every HR discipline, becoming part of the “hub” or “rim”—connecting and reinforcing every function. From payroll and recruitment to benefits and offboarding, nearly every HR activity is governed by labor laws that not only vary widely by jurisdiction and industry but also require specific actions, notices, and processes to remain compliant.
Compliance Administration is an Unwelcome Burden for Employers
These workplace-related regulations are vast, constantly evolving, and increasingly complex—making compliance a major administrative burden for employers. Staying current isn’t just time-consuming; it diverts attention from serving clients and growing the business. Worse, it introduces fear of hidden risks—from fines to lawsuits—when requirements are missed or misunderstood.
That’s why employers are turning to their trusted HR and HCM platforms for help, seeking integrated compliance solutions that reduce uncertainty, simplify operations, and let them stay focused on what matters most.
The Compliance Gap: Both a Threat and Opportunity for HR/HCM Providers
As compliance demands have expanded—across jurisdictions, industries, and employment models—employer expectations have grown faster than most HCM platforms have been able to add new functionality. This has created a “compliance gap,” where critical needs are increasingly met by a patchwork of third-party vendors. While that trend helps employers in the short term, it introduces risk for HR and HCM providers: each time a client looks outside the platform for compliance support, it weakens the relationship and opens the door to platform erosion.
For forward-thinking providers, this gap isn’t just a challenge—it’s a strategic opportunity to extend their platform’s value, deepen client trust, and protect long-term retention.
This growing demand for integrated compliance support is exactly why hundreds of HR, HCM, and payroll service providers—including many of the industry’s leading platforms—have already extended their offerings to include labor law poster compliance.
The Strategic Value of Offering Labor Law Poster Compliance Services
More than 500 platforms and providers have recognized that poster compliance isn’t just a box to check—it’s a strategic gateway into the broader compliance landscape.
Why does labor law poster compliance stand out as a strategic gateway for compliance? It is universal in nature–required independently by nearly every labor law–and is mandatory for all U.S. employers. Yet despite how simple it may seem, poster compliance is more complex than it appears—leaving many employers inadvertently exposed to fines, legal disputes, and elevated liability.
Frequent regulatory changes create a built-in notification rhythm that adds a layer of client engagement–especially with the white labeled services. Finally, the physical posting requirement bridges the gap between the digital HR platform and the physical workplace, and when delivered under the provider’s brand, it reinforces the message: “we’ve got you covered.”
Why does labor law poster compliance stand out as a strategic gateway for compliance?
- Universal – Required by nearly every labor law and mandatory for all U.S. employers
- Ongoing – Regulatory changes create a built-in notification cadence
- Visible – The physical posters bridge digital HR platforms with real-world workplaces
- Engaging – Each update is a natural opportunity for branded touchpoints
- Risk-reducing – Missing or outdated postings can escalate liability in disputes
When providers simplify the process for their clients and help to reduce risk, they are rewarded with elevated status as a trusted advisor – increasing client retention and opening new revenue streams.
