HR Audit in Kazakhstan – Compliance with Labor Legislation & HR Documentation

HR Audit – FChain

In light of increased government oversight and stricter HR administration requirements effective from 2025, it is especially important for employers to ensure full compliance of HR processes with the Labor Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The labor legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan requires employers to strictly comply with HR recordkeeping requirements, proper employment formalization, and maintenance of internal HR documentation.

Violations related to employment formalization, HR documentation, employer internal policies, and operations within the Enbek system may result in administrative liability, labor disputes, unscheduled inspections by government authorities, as well as significant legal and reputational risks for businesses. In this regard, employers must timely identify potential risks, ensure proper HR administration, and maintain internal HR documentation in accordance with the current legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

FChain provides HR audit services for companies in Kazakhstan. We conduct a comprehensive review of HR administration, employment agreements, and HR documentation for compliance with the Labor Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Our Approach

FChain’s approach is based on a comprehensive assessment of HR processes, HR documentation, and employer legal risks within the framework of the labor legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan. We view HR audit not as a formal document review, but as a tool for risk reduction, business protection, and improvement of HR administration efficiency.

During the audit, special attention is paid to compliance of HR processes with the Labor Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, correctness of employment formalization, quality of internal documentation, compliance with Enbek system requirements, and minimization of labor dispute and penalty risks. Following the audit, FChain provides practical recommendations and support in eliminating identified violations and implementing necessary changes.
