How the Scoring Works

Our HR Risk Assessment Calculator looks at key areas like payroll, leave, performance, and policies. Each question is scored:

Yes / Fully Compliant = 0 points
Partial / Needs Improvement = 1–2 points (depending on the question)
No / Non-Compliant = 3 points

Once you finish, all points are added up to give your total risk score:

Low Risk (0–7): Your HR processes are solid. Keep up the good work!
Medium Risk (8–14): Some areas need attention. Focus on improving compliance and policies.
High Risk (15+): Immediate review needed. Take action to reduce risk and keep your HR operations safe.

This scoring helps you quickly see what’s working well and where to improve, so you can protect your team and stay compliant.
