Part 3: Implementing Scalable Compliance Solutions

September 9, 2024

Tyler Browne

As we’ve explored in this series, the Supreme Court’s decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo has significantly altered the regulatory landscape. The end of Chevron deference means that courts will now independently assess whether agencies have acted within their statutory authority, leading to a higher likelihood of regulatory interpretations being overturned. This leaves several areas of regulation and employers’ associated compliance operations—such as worker classification under the FLSA, background checks under the FCRA, and various OSHA guidelines—much more vulnerable to change. While these changes won’t happen overnight, the door is certainly open. Employers should be prepared to adapt quickly.

In this final installment, we move beyond speculation and focus on practical solutions. What does this new regulatory environment mean for your business? More importantly, how can you not only maintain compliance but turn compliance into a strategic advantage? Onboarded’s scalable compliance solutions offer a proactive approach, ensuring that businesses can navigate these challenges with confidence. By leveraging ready-to-use tools, customizable resources, and modern policy management, you can do more than just keep up with regulations– you can lead the way in our industry.

Ready-to-Use Compliance: The Compliance Library

Ask someone on your compliance team how they stay up to date on changing regulations. In most cases, it’s their inbox filled with regulatory update emails that notify them of changes that may impact their business. Employers need more than just another newsfeed – they need actionable, integrated compliance workflows that can be deployed instantly.  This is where Onboarded’s Compliance Library makes a difference.

Onboarded’s Compliance Library is a robust collection of pre-built, ready-to-use compliance workflows. Unlike other solutions that simply alert you to document updates, Onboarded delivers implemented compliance. Meaning, when laws change you don’t have to scramble to figure out how to integrate a new document into your onboarding processes – Onboarded has already done the work for you.

Our partnerships with leading law firms and industry experts ensure that you have rapid access to usable compliance tasks that remove guesswork and reduce operational disruption. 


Rapid Deployment Without Compromising Experience: The Onboarded Form Builder

A core issue presented by the Loper-Bright decision is operational uncertainty. We don’t know for sure what is coming and when. This is unnerving for employers who have built complex compliance operations based on agency guidance. But it’s also an opportunity to revisit how employers manage and introduce new compliance requirements, focussing on self-service and rapid deployment.

Because traditional form-building products often sit outside your system of record, rapid deployment comes at a cost— primarily a poor candidate experience. Something as simple as a new client document doesn’t just create an administrative headache, it usually forces your candidates to create logins in third party systems or get confusing emails from services they don’t recognize.

Form Builder changes this dynamic by allowing you to create and deploy compliance forms quickly and efficiently within the platform you already use. This ensures a seamless, consumer-driven experience that maintains compliance without disrupting your own workflow or burdening candidates with additional logins and processes compromising on quality. This means fewer link-outs that disrupt both your own workflow and the candidate experience.  

As courts begin to play a more active role in interpreting statutes, your ability to quickly adapt and deploy new forms becomes more critical. The Onboarded Form Builder provides self-service compliance tools directly within your system of record, reducing operational burdens and ensuring you stay aligned with evolving regulatory mandates. By empowering you to create custom forms that meet both regulatory and contractual requirements, we help you maintain industry-specific standards with ease and flexibility.

Dynamic Control: Policy Management

Most employers still rely heavily on spreadsheets and internal notes to maintain compliance. These are essentially operational instructions to manage several layers of compliance: regulatory compliance, including agency rules; internal policies; and client requirements. Here’s an example:

IF Client Acme Corp, complete  I-9 within 3 days and sign the Company Handbook.
IF Job is in CA, then also have employee sign a CA specific background check disclosure,

Unless the job requires credit checks, in which case send them to HR for approval.

This type of policy management is overly reliant on the internal expertise of a select few within your organization and is also highly susceptible to human error. But the problem is not that a particular set of instructions is complicated, it’s in how those policies are managed. Employers need visibility into policies to show compliance with both regulatory and client requirements. And as regulatory requirements change, employers need the ability to quickly update those policies with minimal disruption.

Onboarded’s Policy Management tool transforms this approach by providing a centralized platform where compliance professionals and engineering teams can work together to manage policies with greater precision and control. Compliance teams are empowered to take charge of policy creation and enforcement without constantly needing to rely on engineering for updates. At the same time, engineering teams can use the tool to view, modify, and implement policies programmatically, ensuring that compliance requirements are met seamlessly and without operational disruption.

This dynamic control is essential in today’s rapidly changing regulatory environment, where the ability to quickly adapt policies is critical. Onboarded’s platform not only enhances operational efficiency but also respects the roles of both compliance and engineering teams, enabling them to focus on what they do best.
