Can you name, with confidence, the specific test that determines whether a role is exempt or non-exempt in your company — or is it based on title and gut feel?

When was the last time your employee handbook was reviewed by someone with current, specialized compliance expertise?

When a borderline HR or compliance decision comes up in your company, does it get a second expert opinion before it's finalized — or does it get made once, in isolation, and filed away?

Here's the thing most business owners don't realize: your CFO is probably signing off on compliance decisions right now — leave policies, classification calls, handbook language — without the expertise to actually know if they're right. Not because they're careless. Because nobody ever told them that's what they were doing.

Today I want to walk you through what that gamble actually looks like inside a real small business, including a mistake I made myself, early in my career, that I still think about. I'll show you exactly where compliance risk hides in a company your size, and what it actually takes to stop gambling with it.

If you own a business between fifty and three hundred employees, this episode is built for you.
