Proactive Internal Labor Audits should be performed by a supervisor on at least one of their stores each month. Any item marked as "At Risk" should have corrective actions documented. If necessary additional documentation on management or employees should be done on a separate sheet. The Proactive Internal Labor Audit should be signed by the supervisor. If the supervisor finds repeat offenses at a store, or signs of intentional misconduct, that information should be passed immediately onto the Director of Operations. Supervisors should keep a copy of this audit, along with pertinent supporting documents used to conduct the audit in their own files in case of future need.
