Synopsis: This session will focus on how everyday HR actions can trigger investigations, indictments, and personal liability. Specifically, it will discuss how routine HR practices, such as payroll and tax administration, employee classification, and documentation, can escalate beyond civil liability into criminal exposure when intent, repeated behavior, or attempts to conceal issues are involved. It would also connect real world HR decisions to enforcement perspectives from agencies like the Department of Justice and the Internal Revenue Service.

Key Takeaways:

  • Understanding how patterns and intent can elevate compliance issues into criminal risk (including implications under the Internal Revenue Code)
  • Recognizing how documentation missteps or “cover ups” can create greater liability than the original issue
  • Identifying HR’s role in preventing escalation through proper processes and early legal involvement
